Quilting Arts Magazine® hosted its eighth annual calendar contest in the spring of 2008, with the theme of "Celebrating Home."
Readers were challenged to show us in stitch, fabric, and embellishment how they celebrate "home," whatever home might mean to them. We received a stunning array of entries from more than 200 artists, each with a unique perspective on the theme. We feel confident that the 13 winning quilts are ones you will enjoy viewing in your own home, month after month.
