And the WINNERS are….???

This past weekend, I drove to Raleigh, North Carolina and spent 2 days at QuiltCon……

As usual, the convention center was wonderful, the vendors inspirational, and the quilts were amazing!

Please join me over the new few weeks as I show you some of my favorites from the show.

BUT FIRST……the Winners!!

This first quilt was awarded the “MQG Excellence Award” and it was definitely EXCELLENT…..

“Anechoic” by Janice Reimer

Janice said that it was a lesson in color theory that took her out of her color zone.

Best Hand Quilting was awarded to……

“Solomon’s Stripes” by Ethylene Ziegler

A close-up of the quilting shows why…..

Just look at how even all of those stitches are. Better her than me!!!

Best Original Modern Design was awarded to……

“Candy Pop” by Kelly Spell

The technical work on this quilt was worthy of the ribbon…..

Best Machine Quilting was awarded to…..

“Cloudy Night Sky” by Yvonne Fuchs

The quilting was done on a domestic machine and is simple, but very well done. You can actually see it better on the back…..
