This very special episode of my continuing virtual trunk show required a new location because my fifth quilt — Cabin Windows – Verona, PA ca. 1768 — was made as a housewarming gift for Shannon Reed and can normally be found draped on her bed. Similar to my previous quilt, Caged Cacophony, this quilt organically evolved from a very nebulous idea into what has become one of my favorite quilts I ever made. It was such a joy making this knowing that I would be giving it to my dear friend who would appreciate everything that went into it. Be sure to watch the video to hear about the process as well as to see some close-ups of the very dense free-motion quilting in all of the sashing.
Wonderful work. You deserve a virtual blue ribbon for this entry into the virtual trunk show. BTW, can you tell me about that green textile art piece behind you?
That is actually a puzzle of a topological map. I’m assuming it has something to do with a location that has a significant meaning to Shannon.
