A quilt made by a Trenton resident earned a third place honor at the Kansas City Regional Quilt Show and was also awarded the National Association of Certified Quilt Judges Award of Merit.
Cyndi Johnson’s quilt, “Madison’s Lone Star,” took third place in the applique quilt category. It is a design by quilter Ricky Tims and displays a large diamond pieced star in the center, surrounded by applique designs which are edge-stitched with a speciality glittered thread. The fabrics are hand-dyed. Mrs. Johnson said it is the first quilt she had entered in a show in which she not only did the piecing, but also the quilting herself.
The NACQJ Award of Merit is bestowed upon only one quilt in the show. The award is given to a quilt which displays the standards of quiltmaking excellence in design and/or worksmanship. The honor will now allow the NACQJ Association to use the quilt on their website and on their social media.
