The Exemplary 2025
Honorable Mention, Professional Non-Original with Instruction

This whimsical design is from the collection of Sue Spargo. I purchased the pattern and the materials from her store in Ohio. Working continuously on this project took about 9 months. It is done with wool appliqué and tons of surface embroidery stitches. Minor changes were made on some of the blocks from the original pattern. The quilting is hand done by me. I cannot look at this piece without smiling.
