OK. First of all, I'm not a great photographer. Second, the way they set up the show at Sauder, they make all these U-shaped alcoves to hand the quilts in. This is great because they can hang a lot of quilts. It is un-great because it is impossible to get back far enough to take a decent and/or entire picture, straight on. They hang some little quilts on point, and sometimes I turn my camera so that they line up for a picture.
All those excuses made, I hope you can enjoy the essence of these quilts!
The one above and the next several are all little quilts...part of a challenge using the Bonnie Blue line that came out last year sometime...GORGEOUS small-scale repro prints (I bought a fat quarter bundle last year, signed up, and didn't complete the mission - LOL). The longest side could be no longer than 36 inches and the block size was to be 5 inches or smaller.
Here are the Best of Shows - first the wall hanging and then the bed quilt:
I really liked the following one...nice balance of pieced, applique and quilting.
This was a nice paper-pieced quilt for a 4-year-old...
I really liked this wall hanging...
The teacher for the week displayed this one...Sharon Schamber of Arizona...
I LOVED this next quilt!! It was huge! On our entry form, we were to choose between "to be judged" and "display only" - this person chose neither, which I think was an oversight on her part. So the judges did not consider it. Pity...
More later!
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
