Since it is mid-year, you can imagine that the 2012 TQS BOM is well underway. Although it is not a Sue Garman design, it is just as knock-your-socks-off-amazing as you have come to expect from the TQS BOMs.
There will be two color versions for you to choose from. One is hot and wild, the other is geared toward quilters with more subdued color tastes.
We are not ready to let the cat out of the bag, but we are willing to give you a sneak peek and... can you guess the designer. The initials are S. V.

Don't miss your this rare opportunity to view a collection of quilt masterpieces from the American Folk Art Museum. These rarely shows pieces will only be on view through July 8, 2011.
According to guest curator Elizabeth V. Warren "given the rarity of the fabrics used in most of the museum’s historic quilts, the fine workmanship, and the quilts’ well preserved condition, it is clear that they are examples of “best” bedcovers, saved for use on special occasions or when company visited. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when quilts no longer needed to be made for mere warmth, quiltmakers used the art form to express their creativity within the confines of popular decorating trends."
