Kaleidoscope Garden by Judy Ballance, quilted by Patty Wilson, won Third Place-Balanced Piecing & Appliqué at Houston 25
Artist Statement: "This quilt uses vibrant colors, intricate curved piecing, wool appliqué, and hand-embellished embroidery stitches. The quilt evokes looking through a kaleidoscope at a magical garden. On the outside edges of the quilt, darker fabrics were used to create a border. I love to do a combination of wool and cotton with hand embroidery to give a dimensional look to my quilts."
