"The Barrel Racer"
by Sue Garman

60" X 72"

From Sue: I love the excitement of Houston's Livestock
Show and Rodeo, which is held every spring.  I was invited
to enter a quilt in the rodeo's judged quilt show, and I
decided to actually do a 'rodeo' quilt instead of the usual
traditional quilt.  I wanted to bring some focus to women
in the rodeo, and barrel racing is one of the few events in
which women can compete.  In this quilt, the rider is
racing around the red, white and blue barrel and will then
run headlong to the finish line.  The quilt won Best of
Show, Judge's Choice, and Viewer's Choice.
Hooray for women in the rodeo!

This exciting quilt is machine pieced and needle turn
appliqué using my skin tone fabrics for the rider.
I just love the sense of movement Sue captured.  You
almost want to jump out of the way!
