“Red and White Miniatures” is a special exhibit at the 2016 Austin Area Quilt Guild show. These quilts did not have their creators’ names displayed.


The Austin Area Quilt Guild hosts their quilt show this weekend. This year’s theme is “Red, White, and Stars.” I went yesterday and, as usual, came away very inspired.

Besides the official judging, attendees vote on their favorite quilt. My vote went to “The Birds Dropped A Sunflower Seed” by Mary Ann Vaca-Lambert.
