I'm a Co-Cover Girl.......Pinch Me

Wow, how exciting to see my quilt on the upcoming cover of American Patchwork and Quilting.  My quilt is the red and cheddar string piece and I'm sharing the cover with the fabulous  Susan, aka yardgrl60 over on Instagram.  You might have seen some of her posts as she took over the @allpeoplequilt account last week.

APQ was SO generous and they released this piece back to me early so it could hang at the Pacific Northwest Quilt and Fiber Museum, previously called La Conner Quilt and Textile Museum


This is a current exhibition showcasing Improv Piecing, and it included many string pieces.



I'll follow up with a post showing more work that is in this current exhibition.

Keep Stitching,
Sharon
