Mini Me by Wendy Caton Reed
Wendy's interpretation of a quilt in her collection for
the 2021 American Quilt Study Group's Quilt Study.
The Quilt Study show was a highlight of the AQSG Seminar last week
in Virginia.
You may still get a chance to see the spectacular show of
small versions of large quilts over the next three years as many of
the entries will be traveling.
Some of the inspiration quilts in public collections were quite familiar.
Here is Sheryl Low's interpretation of Sophonisba Peale's
medallion in the Philadelphia Museum of Art
The rules asked for quilt studies no larger than 42 inches square.
Eagle Medallion Revisited by Sandra Starley
Some of the entrants used their own collection for a source.
Sandra has two of these....Well, now three.
Jill Meszaros, Lee Martin Ellsworth & Taryn Faulkner organized the Quilt Study this time and did a great job as did the entrants. I didn't get pictures of everything ---or even half, but there will be a book with the traveling exhibit.
