Sauder Village 2011 Quilt Show - Part 3

Quilted Halloween eye candy...yum!  I loved this Baltimore Halloween quilt.  I didn't agree with the way it was hung, though...here are some close ups of the blocks.

 

This quilt won Best Hand Quilting.

 

This won first place in the Wall Quilts: Mixed Techniques-Hand Quilted category.

I NEVER get tired of seeing this quilt...it is on my quilting bucket list.

This was a very cool wall quilt in a tough category.

 

All the items on the clothesline are separate pieces.

This was the blue ribbon winner in the Bed Quilts: Appliqued-Machine Quilted.  The cutwork frames around the roses are interesting and the machine quilting is beautiful.

 

I love any kind of quilt with music in it...

 

This was nice...

This little mini featured hand-dyed silks.  This was one of my favorites...and it was so TINY!

This was made from one of Lori Smith's "fit the frame" patterns and was already small, but the maker of this little mini reduced the blocks even smaller.  It was made by Ruth Royer of Jackson, Michigan.

"Sara's Hexagon Medallion" won the ribbon for the Traditional category.  It is hand pieced (by not by the English paper piecing method) and hand quilted.

Remember the "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler" quilt?  This one is a twist in different colors.  Read the label...it has a touching story.

And talk about a touching story, check out this next one...

Stay tuned...there are more and more...

In stitches,

Sauder Village 2011 Quilt Show - Part 2

This is my friend Margit's second quilt at the show.  We were all hoping for a second ribbon for her on this one...it was certainly worthy!  It was custom quilted by Marilyn Lange of Ypsilanti, Michigan.

 

This was the Best of Show Bed Quilt, "My Fractured Waterfall," by Kathryn Gostola, machine quilted by Eva Birch.  It also won best machine quilting.

This was one of the winners of the quilt challenge.  Every year the quilt shop at the Village issues a challenge with specific fabric and rules.  One of the required elements this year was flying geese units.

Cyber friend Ann Champion entered three quilts and won three ribbons!  I got to meet her briefly on Sunday afternoon when we were picking up our quilts.  This is her first place winner in the Wall Quilts: Appliqued-Hand Quilted category.  It is called "A Country Journal."  Fabulous, and you know how I love chickens...

Her second quilt is called "Princess Feathers" and it won a third place ribbon in the Bed Quilts: Appliqued-Hand Quilted category.  It is AMAZING!

I loved this wolfe!

 

Pictures don't do justice to this snowy barn scene.

I have always liked this candy pattern.  Mmmmm...candy....

This is Ann Champion's second place ribbon winner in the Bed Quilts: Pieced-Hand Quilted category called "Flowering Snowball."

This was a real eye catcher!

 

The machine quilting is interesting...cactus and sombrero...

Do you see a theme developing here?  I have always loved these curvy, spikey quilts...

This is "2000 Pieces" and it won the ribbon for Best Color Usage by Sarah Basinger.  Each fabric is used only once!

This one grabbed my attention (my daughter and her love of Harry Potter and fantasy fiction has worn off on me...). 

I have my Dad's ties, along with others, and I am always looking for a good idea of a way to use them in quilts.  This version was very pleasing.

 

MANY, MANY more pictures to come...
