Seven years in the making, A-Round with My Friends was a round-robin quilt that Barbara just felt needed to be bigger, so she added additional appliqué. She was right, and the quilt won Best of Show at her guild show and then was selected to be in 500 Traditional Quilts by Karey Patterson Bresenhan.

Watch Barbara in Show 2405.

Barbara's quilt, Red and White - By The Numbers, was selected as the commemorative quilt for the Ruby Jubilee of the Houston International Quilt Festival, but we think it's just as impressive that she kept track of all the fabrics and pieces that went into it. (For the record it's 2,770 pieces and 59 different fabrics).

Watch Barbara in Show 2405 to get the whole story.
