{"product_id":"hawaiian-garden","title":"Hawaiian Garden","description":"I designed this quilt around the Alfred Shaheen Vintage Panel and painted the border with birds and flowers and FMQ\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mqxshow.com\/MQX\/East\/QuiltShow\/SpecialExhibits\/index.cfm\"\u003eMQX NE \u003c\/a\u003e2016 has called for quilts in their Alfred Shaheen Vintage Panel exhibit and I decided to make one just for relaxed fun.  After it was finished, I decided to enter it into the juried part of the show because I liked the way it came out and they waived the entry fee, so why not.  I found my beautiful linen panel online and designed the borders around it.  I was fortunate to find exactly the right solid colors for the borders, and so I quilted, then painted the light green border.  The dark green border is my first venture into ruler work for a show quilt, since all I did was make a row of touching circles using Lisa Calle's new circle rulers with my BERNINA 830.  They are hard to see, but I quilted in a frog, a pig, a parrot, and a flying bird in the white background of the central panel and then did a circular twirl fill with that.  Fun to make...since I'm competing against some of the country's best quilters, I would be really surprised if it wins anything, but that's ok.  It makes me happy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Betty Jo Tatum \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Betty Jo Tatum \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pat and Carol Bivens \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 x 48 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e MQX NE 2016 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Betty Jo Tatum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54047341019411,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/hawaiian-garden.jpg?v=1776151390","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/hawaiian-garden","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
