The Austin Area Quilt Guild hosted their 2014 quilt show this month. I always come away inspired by the wonderful quilts that people make. One nice thing is that I know some of these people. And while I’m off taking blurry, over-exposed photographs of butterflies and spiders, they create beautiful works of art.

Pat Creswell won First Place in the Art Quilt division with this quilt, Red Tag. She created it in memory of the trees that we are losing due to the drought. The red tag is put on trees that have died and need to be cut down.
