"My Rhodie" by Andrea Brokenshire

Andrea Brokenshire's quilt, My Rhodie, looked so real, we thought we should be able to smell it. This winner of 1st Place Innovative at the Pacific International Quilt Festival 2018, also took home a ribbon for Viewer's Choice.

The ribbon for Viewer's Choice however, was a bit confusing...we aren't sure it's exactly "wearable."

Artist Statement:

54" x 46"

I made this to celebrate my parents. This quilt was inspired by a visit to the Rhododendron Gardens in Portland during the spring high bloom.

I hope the artist has more of these within her; I can only imagine how it must feel to produce such art as this, to hear how impactful ones work has been on others.

I saw this at the show and was mesmerized. It was an absolutely beautiful sight and so engaging...the details and workmanship were fascinating and I have no words to tell you how hard it was to turn away and go on to the rest of the show!
