Having recently been inspired by contemporary quilt artist, Bisa, this photo gave me the opportunity to experiment with her unique use of color, pattern and bold prints. This quilt also expresses my hope that children can grow up in a world where the color of their skin doesn't define them and and where girls feel empowered.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHouston International Quilt Festival 2023 Artist Statement\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cem\u003e\"Watch out boys; there's a powerful girl in the house! Besides working with the children's delightful faces in many different colors and fabrics, I experimented with using a single fabric in their clothing. I cut the fabric and rearranged it to give the effect of movement. The use of tulle for shading completed the overall effect.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechniques\u003c\/strong\u003e: Machine Appliquéd, Embellished, and Quilted; Fused Appliqué\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Source\u003c\/strong\u003e: Original Design\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Judy Crotts \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Judy Crotts \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 x 23 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e Road to California 2025 ; Houston International Quilt Festival 2023 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second Place - Human Image (Sponsored by Sew Treasured Quilt Shop) at Road to California 2025 ; The Janome Master Award For Innovative Artistry - Houston International Quilt Festival 2023 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Judy Crotts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54046425710867,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/28141-those-darn-boys-judy-crotts-41-1699663035_d7ef7d8b-49f2-40cc-9c7e-1d9410c83e58.jpg?v=1776144626","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/those-darn-boys-judy-crotts","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
