Design Source - Description | Quilt Challenge entry for MN Quilt Show, Duluth, MN, 2005. The theme for the quilt had to relate to the City of Duluth, so I changed the penguins to be summer creatures involved in a variety of pasttimes - beach bum, farmer, Uncle Sam, volleyball player, one very sunburned bird, Tarzan and one female penguin with curls and a bikini. Won ribbons for Viewer's Choice and Best Use of Challenge Fabrics. I agreed to sell the quilt before winning the awards - it was given as a housewarming gift to someone who moved to north FL from Minneapolis. |
