My Quilt Story: Betsy Vinegrad

Betsy is an acclaimed quilter, and her quilts are works of art. Her quilts have won ribbons at national festivals, some are featured in the book “Simply Amazing Spiral Quilts by Ranae Merrill, and her Mod Blocks 2 is currently exhibited in the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky. Recently, at the 2021 virtual Quiltcon, presented by the Modern Quilters Guild, she won a Judges Choice Award and second place in the American Patchwork & Quilting Wedge Quilting Challenge for her quilt, Azulejos. Still, Betsy struggles to call herself an artist.

We met with Betsy at QuiltCon to hear the story behind her art.
