Glitter Gams

Size: 59” w x 79” ht. (2003 - 2004)

This project was collaboration with Michelle Scott of Pitman, New Jersey. We got together for a fun weekend and drew up our design and painted fabrics. After that weekend, our project was mailed back and forth between New Jersey and Canada over a 2-year period, as life got in the way of completing it. I pieced it, then Michele machine quilted it, almost entirely from the bobbin, using thick decorative metallic threads. Further embellishments were couched on after it was quilted. After I put on the binding, it was returned again to Michele for upcoming show submissions in the US.

Glitter Gams won the Award for Best Machine Workmanship at the 2005 New Jersey Quilt Convention and also won Best in Category.

Also Juried into the American Quilter's Society Show in Nashville, Tenn. 2005.

Later was Awarded "Judge's Choice" at the Pacific International Quilt Festival, 2005.
