Sauder Village 2011 Quilt Show - Part 4

More candy!  I see a lot of these dahlia quilts in Amish country, but I really liked the setting and quilting on this one.

There were two judges, and each one was allowed to award a Judges Choice ribbon.  The next two were the big winners.  For some reason, I did not photograph the labels.  The first one is called "Through the Garden Gate" by Elaine Rosenbeck and the second one is nameless by Don Fothergill.

This quilt from a Lori Smith pattern won first place in the Bed Quilts: Appliqued-Hand Quilted category.  It was made by Marlene Hittler.  One thing I loved about this was the 3-D effect of blossoms and berries, especially the block I couldn't reach to get a close up, the top row, second from the left...love those little blue berry balls!  The hand quilting was really nice!

 

Loved this colorful frog...

This lovely won first place in the Wall Quilts: Applique-Machine Quilted category.

This was People's Choice...had a lot of 3-D elements...silk flowers, lace, feathers...you name it.

 

This was a Pam Bono pattern, pieced to look like an album quilt.

Loved these bunnies!  It won first place in the Bed Quilts: Mixed Technique-Machine Quilted category.

Hey...everyone seemed to love the Baltimore Halloween quilt from the previous post.  That is a pattern from P3 Designs...just in case you want to jump in...

 

I think this is "Circuit Rider."

The invited quilt teacher for the week was Nancy Prince of Orlando, FL.  She is an amazing thread painter.  She gave a lecture/trunk show at the awards banquet, and I am pleased to know more about how people thread paint.  I have a greater appreciation for this skill!  Here are her quilts that were on exhibit during the show.  These works look like something you would see hanging in an art museum!

Are you tired of the quilt show yet??  There will be more to come...

In stitches,

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...
