More Quilt Show Pictures

Viewer's Choice....Celebration by Kim Jacobs
Warning.... Waring... quilt picture heavy post......Isn't this a gorgeous quilt? It won Viewer's Choice.

Our show was a success! This guild has only 45 women and one man, we had around 85% participation which is wonderful and helped to make it a good show.

I did win some ribbons which is really nice!



Blue Birds of Happiness won a second place.


Procrastination won a second place and a Judges's Choice......


The Ghastilies won Judges Choice. I love that both judges gave me Judges Choice on my quilts.....they like me, they really like me!
All the Leaves are Green, Purple and Blue won a second place....
My friend Suzanne did this in pink, look how different they look! It is fun to see them in different color ways.


Blue Baskets of Happiness got a third place, competition was stiff and one judge didn't seem to get the wonky part of quilting????


My Sunshine Flower quilt won a first place.

"Sailor Jerry" Japanese Ladies by Norma Grasse

My Serenity Garden by Jean Zubert
This is an amazing quilt. Jean fussy cut all those hexagons that are about 1" in size, hand pieced them and hand quilted it! When she brought it in we immediately put it in the "to be judged" pile. She said she did not enter it to be judged and we told her she had to have it judged. Reluctantly she agreed....she ended up getting first place! I was very happy for her. Click on it to see it up close.

  5. congratulations on all your ribbons! Well deserved!
    It was particularly fun for me to see them, since I'm still new to your incredible work and sense of style.
    LOL, had to laugh, I've confused some judges when I did liberated quilting on a liberated piece.
    I was honor 2 years ago with both of the judges choice ribbons and I still consider it one of my biggest achievements. I'm so happy for you!!

    Isn't it funny that some judges don't know what to say about "wonky"?
