Barry & Hellen are the proud recipients
of the
Golden Gourd Award from the The
Gourd Reserve because of the quality of
their gourd art.  They are very honored
to be given this award because it
expresses their love of working with and
promoting gourds.
This quilt is a major undertaking by the Gourd Artists Guild.  It is the first quilt to be made
with gourd art.  It will have 112 4"X 4" tiles prepared by outstanding artists in their own artistic
style.  The quilt will  also be backed with material like a regular quilt. Upon completion, the
quilt will be  displayed at various functions throughout the USA.
Just click on the above to view the 112 tiles, bios of the artists, history of the quilt,
and the future plans for the quilt.
