Three, count them three, of our TQS members won top ribbons in the AQS New Quilts from an Old Favorite - Orange Peel contest. In first place was, Robin Gausebek (RobinQuilts) of Rockford, IL, with Orange Blossom Special.
Taking a third place ribbon was Karen Watts (krwatts) of Houston, TX, with Tangerine Dream and representing the men in fifth place was Michael Michalski (bklynmike) of Brooklyn, NY with Cosmic Plum.
“These are not your grandmother’s quilts!” exclaimed Judy Schwender, Curator and Registrar for the National Quilt Museum. “Contestants interpreted the Orange Peel design in imaginative ways, providing a wonderful look at the skills, techniques and creativity of today's quiltmakers.”
The winners will be featured in a book from the AQS along with 18 other finalists. A book signing by the quilters will be held at the Museum on Friday, April 29 from 10am-noon.
Let's give our winning members a round of applause for their stunning quilts!
