What did Margot have to share regarding her winning entry?<\/p>\n\n\nA quilter for the past 15 years, Margot said she didn\u2019t normally do quilts like this unless she was \u201cobsessed with the theme.\u201d Moody Beach, Maine, 1957 <\/em>took 2 years to make. Margot spent the first year just \u201cthinking about it.\u201d\n\u201cI think a long time before I get going on a project,\u201d said Margot.\"Moody<\/a>\nShe found the picture that inspired her quilt on eBay<\/a> and bought it. It was just a tiny black and white snapshot. She named her quilt after the information found on the back of the picture. And by the way, Margot has never been to Moody Beach \ud83d\ude42\nThe quilt is fused, quilted with a walking foot, and painted. the most challenging part were the reflections and the white surf bubbles which she cut in piece like lace. As Margot worked on the quilt, she thought about the passage of time and how the three little boys must be in the their 60’s by now.\nWho inspires Margot with her quilting? \u201cLenore Crawford<\/a> changed my life.\u201d She taught Margot the technique used on Moody Beach, Maine, 1957. <\/em>Margot was thrilled to find out she shared the Art Pictorial winning category with her mentor, Lenore Crawford<\/a>. \u201cI was honored to be named a winner along with Lenore.\u201d Lenore won first place, Art Pictorial, for her quilt, Spanish Arches<\/em>. \u00a0\"1st<\/a>What winning idea are you thinking about for Road 2017?
