Having seen Rachelle's quilt in real life, no photograph can do it justice, but it is wonderful to see this lovely lady getting international credit. Adelaide is indeed lucky to have her

So excited to see my quilt featured here, thank you.
Just to answer a couple of questions, the blue details on the quilt is thread. This was free motion quilted first, then trapunto added then quilted, so the thread is raised and adds a touch of colour to the quilt.

Is the blue just thread or is it accented with colored pencils

Stunning quilt, not anything I would ever get done so I might as well not start, but I certainly would love to have one like that. It is breathtaking for sure. If that got 2nd place, what in the world got 1st. I can't imagine. Congratulations ,

Like all whole cloth quilts, this is even more beautiful in person. Rachelle's work is amazing.
