Fabulous quilt at the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska!

To kick off our celebration of Earth Day and Arbor Day, we are sharing this incredible panel from Egypt. This piece depicts the "Tree of Life" designed, hand-appliquéd and hand-embroidered by Ahmed Karim in Cairo, Egypt. The top features cotton fabric appliqued onto white, whole cloth fabric and is backed with canvas. This piece came to the International Quilt Museum in 2016 as a gift from the Robert and Ardis James Foundation.

To celebrate of Earth Day and Arbor Day this year, we will be sharing unique pieces in our collection from all around the world throughout the week. Stay tuned!

Amazing quilt in the collection of the Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.

It's day two of our countdown to Arbor Day. This stunning piece, made by Yoshiko Kurihara, shows a stylized image of a camel caravan trekking through the desert. The camels and riders can be seen near the middle of the quilt, silhouetted against a colorful, conceptual landscape. This quilt came to the museum as a gift from the artist.

To celebrate of Earth Day and Arbor Day, we will be sharing unique pieces in our collection from all around the world in the days to come.

Post Festival Impressions:

While Festival vendor areas were smaller than anticipated, the quilts were no less creative and spectacular than previous, pre-Covid years. It is like going to one of the best art museums in the world each year.

I cannot recommend a trip to Houston for this wonderful exhibition and show.

Best of Show, "BEYOND REASON" was amazing, you'd have to see it to believe it, honestly. Included in images are Best of Show and some of our favorites!

As the founder of World of Quilts Travel, we are so proud to have been sponsors of the PICTORIAL-LARGE CATEGORY. Please see our wonderful winners in the images below.
