From Margarete Heinisch of West Hills, CA, comes the Winner for Excellence in Hand Quilting, sponsored by Bohin France, at Road to California 2013.
The name of the quilt is Mi Amor and was started in 2006 and finished in 2011. It measures 86" x 86."
Artist statement: The purpose of this quilt is the 25th anniversary of my daughter Christa and son-in-law Jim. Baltimore quilts and all the diverse symbolic meaning so lovingly sewn in each block captured the heart of my daughter. I like to create somewhat my own pattern and put a symbol in each block which has a meaning in Christa and Jim's life style.
