| Judith E Martin with Under Drifting Stars, painted and hand embroidery-quilted cotton quilt, 86 x 91 inches 2022 |
Quilt National 2023 opened in Athens Ohio, May 26, at 4 pm. Awards were given out at 5:30 pm.
There was a banquet afterwards for the artists and their guests.

It was nice that Under Drifting Stars was hung away from the wall, as the second side is worth peeking at. The display card has the materials, techniques and also Judy's poetic statement.

Judy Martin had many people come up to her during the opening of Quilt National to tell her how much they loved this gentle and soft quilt. She brought a chair over to the quilt so that she could sit beside it and reconnect. The quilt was made in the summer of 2022, and then almost immediately shipped to Athens. Quilt National runs until September 11 at the Dairy Barn in Ohio and then it will tour for two years. It might happen that this quilt will sell to a collector during that time. This quilt will be an heirloom. For more images of this quilt, please visit New Work, here.

A world of spirit thinly veiled, a secret mystery.
Our cosmos, our day and night, the sun and the moon, and also the stars.
Childhood and also eternity. Also emotions. Also dreams.
I make quilts that are large enough to cover a family.
