I knew from the beginning it would be a huge undertaking as I could only imagine it at this size. To faithfully re-create the pieced quilt resting on the front porch swing, detailed patterns of minuscule pieces were drafted. It was more than four years in the making, but worth every moment spent in the studio.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMargo Clabo says about David's win, and the original quilt that inspired him: \u003cem\u003e\"I did not go to the International Quilt Festival in Houston this year, but I just got some exciting news from the show! Quilt artist, \u003cspan class=\"nc684nl6\"\u003eDavid Taylor\u003c\/span\u003e, used a photograph that I took of a quilt I made for Alvin and created a stunning quilt from the photo, and he won the \"Viewer's Choice\" award at the show! I made the original quilt from muslin that I died myself. I made the log cabin blocks (with 1\/2\" logs!) and Alvin rearranged them on the design wall for days until he finally told me to sew them together. I am thrilled and amazed at David's attention to the details of the photo, and send thanks to \u003cspan class=\"nc684nl6\"\u003eBarbara Black\u003c\/span\u003e and Brenda Miller for sharing these photos!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTechniques: Hand Pieced, Appliqued, and Embroidered; Machine Pieced and Quilted; Heat-Set Metal Embellished\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePhotos courtesy of the International Quilt Festival, \u003cspan class=\"nc684nl6\"\u003eBarbara Black, \u003c\/span\u003eand Brenda Miller.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Taylor \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 81 x 81 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e AQS Quiltweek 2022 in Paducah ; Houston 2021 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second Place - Wall Quilts at AQS Quiltweek 2022 in Paducah ; 2022 Paducah Viewer's Choice Award ; Viewers' Choice Award from the Festival Judged Show 2021 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54046513332499,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/27137-welcome-home-david-taylor-53-1636311328_939ba395-3ce6-40e6-981c-37a78903efc6.jpg?v=1776145385","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/welcome-home-david-taylor","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
