A quilting challenge can sometimes become the work that earns lasting recognition.

In her Around The Frame column, Lois Levihn shares the story of Monroeville quilter Kathy Beauchot, whose “Stitcher’s Garden 2” received the Carolyn Gerig Award at the Maumee Valley Antique Steam & Gas Association quilt show. Beauchot used dozens of stitches and techniques in the appliquéd quilt, turning a once-disliked skill into a new passion.
