Judy writes about her quilt, Three Handstands:
"I have a lifelong love of gymnastics and respect for all women athletes. This is a celebration of women in sports and the tremendous effort it takes to not only balance one’s family with work, social, or school life, but to add the challenge of keeping up with a busy training schedule. Since the 1970’s women have enjoyed more freedom in competing in sports at the international level and professionally, as well as earning athletic scholarships to college that were not available to our grandmothers."

When we saw the wonderful quilt by Judy Ahlborn of her daughter, done in the style of Alphonse Mucha, it reminded us of a special quilt at Houston 2017 that was inspired by Mucha's "La Primevere," Mariko Miwa's I Love Mucha.
Capt'n John:
I take so many pictures so fast that I missed seeing the woman in the middle. I concentrated on the birds and didn't realize what the main feature was until I saw the picture "La Primevere" (last picture below) that it was based on."
Did you miss it too?
