Other Notes: Judy Cloninger taught herself to quilt in 1969, and the renewed interest in handcrafts such as quilting in the mid 1970s furnished her "with fabrics, information, and shared enthusiasm." She enjoys the challenge of making intricate quilts such as her Shiraz Quilt, which took her some 2000 hours to complete., Mrs. Cloninger notes: "In my quilt Shiraz, I seek to capture the timeless beauty of geometric designs found in Oriental rugs. Through my interest in the decorative arts, I have long been aware of the enduring appeal of Oriental carpets. Moving to Texas in the early 1970s provided me with an opportunity to learn in depth about quilts. My research into both fields of rugs and quilts gradually revealed their similarity and design compatability. By melding classic patterns and inspiration with contemporary fabrics and techniques, I try to create unique and beautiful quilts., Taught at Quilt Festival in Houston, 1981, 1984-85, 1987-88, as well as at festivals and workshops in Nashville and Oakland.
