‘Another canvas’
Artist Valerie Funk’s quilt entered into American Quilting Society quilt show
It was Valerie Funk’s love of graphic arts and photography that first inspired her to start quilting.
“I think, first and foremost, I’m an artist,” said Funk, “but quilting is just like another medium for me. It’s like another canvas.”
Funk, who lives in Osceola, was a semifinalist for the 2012 American Quilting Society (AQS) Quilt Show and Contest held at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines Oct. 3 through 6.
