Now that I’ve shown you some of the portrait quilts that I saw at the International Quilt Festival, I thought maybe I should also show you some of the top award winners. Maybe you’ve already seen the overall images of each on the Quilt Festival website, but I’d like to also show you some detail…

Today wraps up the week of portrait quilts that I saw at the International Quilt Festival in Houston earlier this month. There were many more portrait quilts that I haven’t included here. Some were in exhibits where photography was prohibited. Some I just haven’t found in the volume of photos I took. I thought it…

Another day of portrait quilts from the International Quilt Festival in Houston. All of the quilts I’ve shown you have been part of the judged competition. Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on that wall?
