annettevaltl Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I won the APQS Award at the Open European Quiltchampionships last weekend in Holland with my quilt "Rosa Celeste"! The graph that forms the rose is based on calculations of the positions of the planets Venus and Earth in space in a timeframe of 240 years. The rose is formed of 750 straight lines. In the background I quilted a pattern I created based on Penrose tiling. I want to thank APQS for this wonderful oportunity and send greetings to everybody! I wish I could fly to MQS this year and see all the beautiful quilts and meet you folks. May be 2010.... See all the winners here. Claudia Pfeil was among the judges! That´s why you don´t see any of her quilts here. But at MQS!! http://www.oeqc.eu/indexen.php?i=6 Greetings, Annette Valtl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
