My "Stars for a New Day" was juried into the AQS 2026 special exhibit titled Stars, Stripes, and Stitches.
This quilt was made from The Quilt Show's 2009 Block of the Month. It's titled Stars for a New Day by Sue Garman. It was juried into the AQS special exhibit titled Stars, Stripes, and Stitches in honor of the USA's 250th anniversary. It is currently raveling around the country with 39 other selected quilts and will be featured in all the AQS shows throughout 2026. If you attend an AQS show this year I hope you will look for it in the exhibit!
The quilt has over 4.300 individual pieces. I began it the week the USA went into Covid lockdown in 2020. I worked on it every day for over a year and as I stitched it gave me comfort and hope that the pandemic would one day subside.
