Of A Feather

Of A Feather by Louise Thibaudeau won First Place - Small Wall Quilts - Movable Machine Quilted (Sponsored by APQS) at AQS QuiltWeek - Paducah 2026. Quilted by Sue Foster, and using Sue Spargo's Of A Feather pattern as her design source, Louise's quilt surely makes an argument for why the expression that birds of a feather stick together rings true with its beautifully hand appliquéd birds looking so happy amongst their flock.
