I was so excited to see that Superior Threads has featured my art quilt “Beach Buddies” on their blog.

Years ago I took a photo of my husband and oldest granddaughter walking on the beach. I always loved that photo and knew that someday I would do something special with it. After learning more about making pictorial quilts, including a workshop with Wendy Butler Berns, I made this quilt.
I enjoyed the process of making it immensely – and loved quilting it with silk thread. I used Superior’s Kimono #100, a very fine thread.
And this is the photo that I took when my granddaughter was only 2 years old. She is now a senior in high school !
