Baker Beach is based off of a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge taken by Valley Springs photographer John Slot. Sandra writes, “I hand-dyed most of the fabric – it’s all cotton – to try to look like the water, and the sky, and the rocks and the reflections,” she said. “It took about three months to make the piece, and then I quilted it. It won Best Pictorial at the Pacific International Quilt Festival last October (2019).”

Here is a wonderful, award-winning quilt created by Denise Havlan (Username: denisehavlan), one of our TQS members. The quilt is Celtic Creed, and the center Celtic cross imagery is hand-painted. It measures 53" x 62" and is appliquéd and quilted on a domestic machine. Denise says, "I knew that one day I would do a quilt to celebrate my heritage." We think she did a spectacular job!
