Marla Varner of Sequim won one of three big prizes at QuiltCon in Austin, Texas, in February for her quilt “Coral Reef.”
She got the overall award for excellence in quilting for her handwork (hand-quilting).
Anna Boenish, formerly of Sequim, earned third place in her category — modern traditionalism — with her quilt “Refresh.”
The juried show attracted 1,500 entries and 300 were accepted for judging.
