Under Drifting Stars tours with Quilt National to Minnesota this summer

 Quilt National 2023 is currently touring the USA.  The original exhibition has been divided into three parts, and Judy Martin's large lightweight cotton quilt is in Collection A.  

Under Drifting Stars   very lightweight cotton with a silk batt, embroidery floss, wool and silk thread, hand stitched and hand quilted,   86 x 91 inches, 2022

Collection A of Quilt National will be on view at the Historical Society of Clay County,  Moorhead, Minnesota from July 1 until September 30, 2024.

Each quilt that goes into a Quilt National exhibition must have the title and name of the artist sewn onto a label on the back of the quilt.  The images in this post show how the artist made an embroidered label and added extra embroidery to the hanging sleeve that blended with the stitching on the back of the quilt.  For more images of the finished quilt, visit Judy's website.  judithemartin.com
