| Rod Daniel - 1st Place Best WallHanging: I am quite the novice with quilting, but this past Spring I took a one week class with Susan Carlson on free form quilting at the Empty Spools quilting workshop in Monterey CA. I have always had my hands in painting, but not quilting. I loved the class and loved her process of working with small scraps of fabric as if painting with a brush. The image that won in the state fair was my second attempt at a truck. When I turned it in at the fairgrounds, I could not help but notice the extraordinarily beautiful quilts already entered that showed way more skill and technique than I ever dreamed of. I almost pulled my quilt back, but I thought that it would at least be fun to see it hanging with the other quilts. You cannot imagine my surprise when I learned from a friend that the quilt had the first place ribbon. I was totally thrilled. I am also inspired to continue working with this technique. We'll see where it goes. |
