In this final video of this Way Out West Series, I end up in my final destination, Reno, where the biggest cribbage tournament is held. I also show how to create a quick art quilt to hold my jewelry in place while I travel. Thank you so much for joining me in my journey and allowing me to share my experiences with you! The next series will start in the summer when I get back on the road to? Your guess is as good as mine!

Carson Converse's quilt, Untitled 2-2019, was inspired by a traditional drunkard's path block. The curves are more organic and uneven to match the look of quick hand-drawn sketches. Four thread colors were used to layer additional patterning on top of the design.

We continue our selection of quilts exhibited in 2019 at the Houston International Quilt Festival as part of their 45th Anniversary, the Sapphire Anniversary. The Sapphire Celebration exhibit is described as:
"Quilters have long used the color blue to symbolize trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Sapphire is also the chosen gem to celebrate 45th anniversaries—which International Quilt Festival is doing this year (2019)! These new and antique blue and white quilts will be suspended from the ceiling in a spectacular and unforgettable display."
To be a part of the exhibit, quilts had to fit the following criteria:

If you have been hanging around with me for a while you already know this...but for those who may be new, I am a smorgasbord quilter. Which means that I truly like it all...when I enter a quilt shop I run all over to see it all...and I truly love it all. With this said, my number 1 passion is wool. I love the texture, the forgiveness of the genre, and the variety it provides. For those of you allergic to wool...no problem. Flannel can be substituted in any wool pattern.

We tried counting all the adorable little houses, cars, and trailers in Round & Round the Neighborhood by Martha Lindberg, but gave up. It took Martha 7 months to finish the quilt. It would have taken us 7 years...
The design is by Susan Claire (gourmetquilter.com)
Round & Round the Neighborhood by Martha Lindberg, quilted by Richard Larson, was featured in the Appliqué Large category at Road to California 2020.
