PAYSON ARIZONA QUILT SHOW

We were vendors at this quilt show held the 11th, 12th, and 13th of November. I just finished unpacking from the trip. It was a great show. It's known as the Rim Country Quilt Roundup. Below is a few pictures taken of my booth.

The main reason for this blog is to share with you the most incredible quilt I've ever seen. It was displayed at this show. It's title is Sitting Bull.
It's made by Sharon Schamber and measures 90" x 93". First she painted the figures on the fabric. Then enhanced everything with thread work. The feathers looked so real. The eyes seemed to follow you wherever you stood. She dyes her own fabric and does her own machine quilting. The border zig zag design was appliqued on. The picture is a wow but to see it in person is breath taking. I was told it took her two years to complete. My hat is off to you Sharon. Your a true artist.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
