This year at Quilting in the Garden, Pokey Bolton is putting together a special exhibit in memory of Yvonne Porcella. Yvonne was a pioneer in the quilting world, paving the way for today’s art quilters. Each participant is to make a tribute piece honoring Yvonne. With the deadline around the corner, I thought my annual getaway with my quilting buddies would be the perfect place to “get busy!”  It was SO much fun working in a style that represented Yvonne’s trademark look. I decided to emulate one of her earlier kimono-inspired pieces, echoing her uses of red, black and white.

I thought it would be fun to share my work in progress. (It still needs to be quilted.) It was challenging and fun, right down to sealing it with a “heartfelt” kiss to represent my love for Yvonne. Enjoy this slideshow!
