Polish Pottery was inspired by, what else, some polish pottery that Chieko Shiraishi came across that she wanted to turn into a quilt. Winning Second Place Traditional in the World Quilt Competition at PIQF 2019, "the appliquéd flowers are handcrafted crochet lace" and the quilt "has a new sense of technique by combining quilt and crocheted lace." With spectacular hand piecing, hand appliqué, AND hand quilting, all brought together through it's yellow color scheme, it is quite a thing to see.
Polish Pottery by Chieko Shiraishi of Japan won Second Place Traditional in the World Quilt Competition at the Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF) 2019.
