A Summer Christmas, 100 x 100", by Mariya Waters and Gina Perkes-Tidwell (Australia)

Here is the winner of the Yuko Watanabe BEST OF SHOW award at the 2021 Pacific International Quilt Festival! This award-winning quilt was made to celebrate Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere, where the flowers bloom brightly in the heat of summer. 

Inspired by Victoriana and Greek designs, A Summer Christmas was an international collaboration between Mariya Waters in Melbourne, Australia, and Gina Perkes-Tidwell, the quilter, in Arizona, USA. 

A Summer Christmas was hand and machine appliqued using whole unit turned edge applique.  Mariya's outstanding applique work is enhanced by Gina's award-winning long arm quilting.
