International Quilt Festival 2013, Houston, #5

Wind by Masanobu Miyama of Japan

When the curtain went up on this major prize winning quilt, I knew we had a game-changer.  With apologies for the analogy, this quilt is about the size of my placemat!  Finally, art quilters don’t have to force themselves to work somewhere between large and vast to have a chance at a top prize.

That puppy made a second appearance in the quilt show in this larger quilt which Masanobu made with his wife:

A much larger quilt (I'd guess at least 60 inches) by Hiroko Miyama and Masanobu Miyama.  Do you see the Golden with the little boy?

I was so tickled to see this quilt which I had first seen in the Art Quilts Maine exhibit at Maine Quilts.  It is by Julie Weaver, and is her first quilt (but I hope not last!) to be juried into Houston.

Even more fun, I'm on the show floor when I hear, "Hi, Sarah," And it is Sarah Carpenter and Julie Weaver, from Maine!
