Congratulations to Sharon Schamber for winning the Best in Show at this year’s Houston Quilt Festival for her quilt The Spirit of Mother Earth. I’d also like to say thanks to Sharon for posting such detailed photos on her web site. It is a real treat to be able to see so closely the gorgeous stitching.
