Let’s face it: pet owners love our pets. My next door
neighbor loves his labs so much, the only décor he has in his house relates to
black labs--from every piece of wall art to the toilet paper dispensers! So it was no surprise to me that many quilt artists depicted
their love of their animals with needle and thread. We had some hilarious
entries, some very realistic portrayals of pets with expert thread painting, some collaged, and
others a little sorrowful depicting the memory of a beloved pet. It was a
difficult task to narrow the finalists down to the following artists and we
want to thank everyone for participating!
