Congratulations to MaterialChick whose entry If van Gogh were a Quilter: Starry Night Over Sisters, took 2nd place in the 2010 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show theme contest: Stars over Sisters.
Here's what she has to say about her award-winning quilt, "I was inspired by van Gogh's painting Starry Night. I included the Three Sisters mountains above a stylized town of Sisters, Oregon and the surrounding agricultural area. The larger building represents the Stitchin' Post, a local quilt shop. The tall trees represent Ponderosa Pines, and I made the smaller, 3-D trees with thread painting. To create the swoosh in the sky I used 4 colors of Sulky Holoshimmer threads (hand sewn) and 6 colors of weaving thread (bobbin work) I bought in Guatemala. Some of the mountain details are thread painted."
