Kestrel Michaud - "Rose" a Houston 2019 Quilt

They say that people sometimes choose style over substance. In the case of Kestrel Michaud's quilt, Rose, she chose both. For all the bells and whistles that the quilt features, including Rose's mechanical leg and her steam powered dog, Kestrel felt Rose still needed to look good before she went out into battle.

Rose by Kestrel Michaud of West Melbourne, Florida was featured in the Fantasy / Whimsy category at Houston 2019.

Thank you so much for featuring my quilt! Rose is a steampunk character of my own creation. She is NOT a panel, but is in fact made from over 2700 pieces of appliqué fabric stitched in raw edge style. If you’d like to see behind-the-scen es pictures showing how I made her, take a look at the blog post: http://kestrelmichaud.com/2018/Rose-process/

Thank you, again!
