What's the surprise? (Scroll Down for closeups).  From far away Thom Atkins' quilts are quite striking, but wait until you see them close up!  Almost every little bit is embellished in some way.  Here in Thom's quilt, My Father's Shadow, every tree and leaf is a bead or button.  

To see more of Thom's amazing work, which was featured at Quilting in the Garden, watch the slideshow below the photos.
