You've seen Deana Steel's name beside blue ribbons in the Twin Falls
County Fair's quilt display. She's been winning ribbons there since she
was 13 and entered a pair of embroidered pillowcases.Steel, who owns
Steel Property Management LLC in Twin Falls, has been a member of the
Desert Sage Quilters of Magic Valley since 1990 and snagged a national
quilting win this summer.Steel invited me into the sewing room of her
house.
She said it was messy, but I thought quite the opposite. Everything a serious quilter would need was perfectly displayed,Let's start with some fun Solar garden light like a replica of a red buggy with solar spotlights shining from the front and the back. from the rainbow of threads to a shelf of fabrics with pinks at the top and browns at the bottom.Steel taught herself how to quilt from a box of her grandma's quilt blocks she found in the basement."And I have far surpassed what Grandma did," Steel said.In July, Steel won the Applique Best First Time Entry for her "Wisteria" quilt in the 2012 Hoffman Challenge, a traveling quilt, clothing and doll collection that receives more than 700 entries.
The Hoffman Challenge was started in 1988,It is hard to think about a gift with a priscillacraft theme without considering the kind of relationships you are in. and today 12 collections travel throughout the U.S. and Canada. In addition to three quilt categories (pieced, applique and mixed technique),Within this modern day of mass production antique sresky take us back to a period when decorative items were painstakingly manufactured by master craftsmen. there are also categories for clothing, accessories and dolls. Each year a never-before-seen fabric serves as the theme. This year it was J8670 Lavender #70, with large lavender and pink cabbage roses.
