2014 Sauder Village Quilt Show...Last Part...

                                                                                             

The Sauder Village Quilt Show Challenge is tempting and interesting every year.  I usually buy the little fabric bundle with the greatest of intentions of DOING the challenge, but always end up washing and adding the fat quarters to my stash because I DON'T.

This year's challenge was called "Line Dance."  Each entry had to use one of the two Michael Miller striped fabrics shown above and other geometrical fabrics of the quilter's choice - dots, stripes, chevrons - and solid colors.  No other fabrics could be used.  

The maximum size was 36" x 36" and the minimum size was 24" x 24".  Anything between those sizes was accepted.

Quilts had to be designed, pieced, and/or appliqued and must have been made by individuals rather than groups.

Here is what the clever participants came up with...

And the winners are...First Place...

Two Second Place winners...

Two Third Place winners...

Four Honorable Mentions...

I'm afraid this ends all the photos I took at Sauder Village.  If I had gone back the last day, I would have taken more pictures of more quilts, but that wasn't meant to be.

Thank you for your continued emails and comments of support and love...I feel them deeply and really appreciate everybody's time and effort in making them.  One day at a time...

2014 Sauder Village Quilt Show, Part Five

Still more quilts from the Sauder show!  I have the pattern for this quilt and it always cracks me up to see it at a show...

Sorry the label is fuzzy on this one...it won first place in the Wall Quilts: Mixed Techniques and Hand Quilted category.

My eyes perked up at this one...with my science background, I am always tickled pink to see a quilt with a science theme...

I have the pattern for this cute Halloween quilt (so do YOU, Ola...).  Let's get together and make this quilt!

I liked "OHIO" quilted into the border...

This won first place in the Bed Quilts: Small Pieced and Machine Quilted category.  It caught my eye...great use of color and I loved the flying geese border.  I'm sure it appealed to all the Ohio State fans...

Love that hand quilting...such a classy, elegant quilt...

I love the colorful dresden plate ring medallion in this quilt!

I always love seeing quilts made from Blackbird Designs patterns...

My friend Mary made this quilt...I love all the embroidery sprinkled in with the pieced blocks, and the fabric line is so cool!

I love this blue quilt!

This won the special ribbon for color usage.

I love this quilt!  It was made by my friend Cheryl Grajewski and quilted by another friend, Marilyn Lange.  It is beautifully pieced, has such a pleasant palette, and the original design is so nicely balanced.  Marilyn's brilliant machine quilting really brings it all together.  It's a blue-ribbon winner in my mind.  There are so many nice quilts in this category - it makes hard work for the judges!

I love pink and brown quilts like this...I have the pattern and tissue foundations somewhere in the quilt cave...it is on my bucket list.

This was the other Judge's Choice winner...my photo of the tag was way too fuzzy to post.  It is called "Ribbon Medallion" and was made by Arlene Garmatter of Bluffton, OH.  If I remember correctly, all the ribbons are from showing cows, and the cow fabric in the background is such a clever setting. Very clever!



Again, another fuzzy tag...this is called "Dear Cindy" and was made by Cindy Lewis of Toledo, OH. It won the special ribbon for Best Traditional Quilt.

I hope you enjoyed today's installment of the show!
