"My husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Den Haag, Netherlands and saw Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring" portrait in person. It was thrilling! I've always admired quilt art depicting her and thought I would give it a whirl with the National Quilt Museum's New Quilts Food Challenge. Not only is our foodie girl "caught in the act" with the last slice of pizza, but her entire outfit is composed of food fabric. She is decked out in blueberries, potato chips, popcorn, french fries and of course, her much beloved pearl onion earring!"
