Raffle Quilt 2006


"The Voice Of You and Me 2006"
Design by Yvonne Porcella and Karen Musgrave
Quilting by Karen Watts
 Dimensions: 58" by 60"
August 2005

Yvonne Porcella said, “Luscious colors, wonderful designs, exciting images to explore are found in this third raffle quilt in our collaborative voice of you and me. This quilt makes my heart sing!”

Well-known quilt artists and Alliance Board members Yvonne Porcella and Karen Musgrave have collaborated on the quilt, "The Voice of You and Me 2006," to support the work of The Alliance for American Quilts. The third in the series of quilts by the artists titled "The Voice of You and Me" has art quilters Porcella and Musgrave returning to their art quilt roots after last year’s naïve rendition of a Baltimore Album-style quilt.

When Karen Musgrave was asked about her experiences with making the quilts, she said “Each quilt has provided me not only with a great learning experience and a chance to work with Yvonne but most importantly, an opportunity to do something I love to support an organization that is amazing.”

2006 raffle winner
Joyce Valencia and Yvonne Porcella

The winner of "The Voice of You and Me 2006" is Joyce Valencia of Modesto, California. When she saw the quilt being unwrapped, she said, "Oh, it is so much more vibrant than in the picture. I absolutely love it. It is fabulous. I never have won anything like this before and I have the perfect place to hang it." She plans to hang it at the top of her stairwell. She told the members of Country Crossroads Quilt Guild in Modesto that she won the quilt and they were all thrilled. She plans to show it at the January guild quilt show in Modesto.

Thanks to everyone who supported this effort.
