After posting to my blog yesterday, I received a delightful email from the maker of one of the unidentified quilts from my photos. Her name is Janet Knapp and she is the maker of My Victory Garden. She used a Primitive Gatherings pattern and modified it to make it her own by adding an American Flag on the right hand side. Janet was unable to attend Quilt Expo and by some fluke came across my blog and discovered that she had won a ribbon for her quilt. She told me that this same quilt won a Judge's Choice award at Paducah this year and a first in the Minnesota show in June. I am so excited for her. She also shared her feelings about sending off a quilt to a show as well as what it is like to participate in a juried show. What a treat to hear from her! Here is her quilt again:
