Congratulations to Sheryl

Sheryl S. has a quilt on the cover of the new magazine Modern Patchwork. It's the one on the wall. A nice launch for a new publication.

And she sent a picture of a red quilt she finished for the show. The tulips are from the Legler Barn in Lenexa.

Here's a snapshot of it at the quilt show last weekend

And a Churn Dash quilt from her sketchbook.

The photographers recorded every quilt entered in the main part of the show and the Miniquilt Auction.

You can order a disk for $5 (plus $1 postage if you want it mailed.) As soon as I figure out how to order one I'll put the information over on the left.
