Your thread artistry brought that piece to life..it would not have had the admiration and awe of so many viewers ar it various showing. My astonishment is the fact that it only rec'd one ribbon--wonder what overshadowed it and rec'd those other ribbons

The fox is by Kathy McNeil, just google her work if you aren't familiar. She was last years Peoples Choice BOS winner at Fall Paducah with her quilt of the two draft horses called "All You Need is Love". I wish I knew who made the Angel quilt. I would love to see that one in person. The workmanship in these show quilts is just amazing. As you can see the other two make such a strong visual impact in comparison.

Edited to add that Gail actually took a class with Kathy to learn her applique techniques so it is kinda neat to see student and master quilts side by side like that.

I had the honor of seeing this quilt in person in Houston last year. As amazing as it looks here, it looked even better in real life. I was speechless. It's absolutely gorgeous.
