Karlyn Bue Lohrenz's quilt, The Monumental Way, helped her escape a long snowy winter. Here's what she has to say:
"I don't know how one could take a class or read a book of Katie Pasquini Masopust and not say "I have to try it"! Escaping from a very long, snow filled, cold winter I went to the Studio to create the warmth of the desert. Fallert's gradations gave life to my vision."
Karlyn's quilt won 3rd Place, Large Wall, Pictoral at AQS Paducah 2012.
