Tribute to Tolkien by Sue McCarty has won numerous awards including the Pfaff Master Award for Machine Artistry in IQA Houston 2009. It was also voted Viewer's Choice.
The quilt was inspired when her brother convinced her to read The Lord of the Rings. She decided she wanted to create the piece for her brother, a Tolkien devotee of over 30 years.
The centerpiece of the quilt depicts Aragorn's victory, his coronation as the King of Gondor, and his marriage to Arwen.
It is a wholecloth quilt and uses a variety of threads, many of which are metallic. It took Sue close to 500 hours from design to completion.
