“All you need is Love” is one of fifteen quilts at the Fall Paducah show that can be voted on by you and anyone you know who loves quilts, to receive a top Viewers Choice award.
Inspired about a photo by Cynthia Baldauf Many of you read the story of this quilt in this months newsletter.
Immediately upon seeing Cynthia Baldauf’s photo on the cover of the National Geographic catalogue, I found her name and began my internet search. Facebook gave me a contact link. I messaged her to ask - What she would charge for permission to use her “artful photo” as inspiration. She wrote back, asking what photo I was talking about? What photo! “Your photo is on the cover of the National Geographic Catalogue. It brought tears to my eyes and has filled my heart. How on earth were you able to capture that moment?
