A highlight of the Medley of Roses – 2026 ARS National Convention & Rose Show will once again be the live auction of a stunning handmade queen-size quilt created by the talented team of Kathy Wyckoff and Jo Pederson.
Kathy expertly machine-pieced the quilt top, while Jo custom quilted it using a hand-guided machine in an elegant rose pattern. Measuring 90” × 100”, this beautiful quilt is both machine washable and dryer safe, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
Ever wonder how many hours go into creating a quilt like this? Excluding the time spent selecting fabrics and cutting hundreds of pieces, Kathy estimates that more than 20 hours were devoted to piecing the quilt top alone. Jo then invested another 20-plus hours professionally quilting the finished piece. The result is a one-of-a-kind work of art that reflects exceptional skill, patience, and craftsmanship.
Be sure to attend the live auction for your chance to take home this extraordinary heirloom-quality quilt!
