"Lollipop" by Antonia Kort-Hering won The Nancy Ann Sobel Award of Merit in Hand Quilting at AQS QuiltWeek - Paducah 2026.
Artist Statement: "In this quilt, there are 466 yo-yos, both small and large, decorated with antique French ribbon and all sorts of beads. The hardest part was making the yo-yos as round as possible. The green border with all the musicians and little dogs is my favorite. It was a lot of fun making the musicians with the dogs in all sorts of positions. Lollipop is sure to make you smile; I sure did while I made it!"
