Georgia Celebrates Quilts 2013 post #1

Well, the show is over and it's time to start thinking about the next one...

i will be doing two show posts- this one will be the quilts that i participated in (ie quilted)

*WARNING*  some serious eye candy is getting ready to happen :)

first- 'Crimson Radiance' designed and pieced by Charlotte, won Best of Show!!! *snoopy happy dance* i had to submit a change of address form cause i was living on cloud nine :)

long time readers will remember this quilt hung at Paducah. it also took first place in the Two Person, large category. 

(click on the pictures for bigger views)

this is our wedding quilt, 'The Perfect Pair'. i entered it into the group category and it took second.

i also quilted the first place winner in the Group category- Cindy's Mocha Latte Stars

Maetha's 'Summer Holiday' was awarded Honorable Mention in the Two-Person, Mixed (an even amount of piecing and applique) category

 Amanda's Quilt 'Star Parade' won second in the Two-Person Pieced, Large category.

Pam's row quilt 'Stash of Gesse' won 3rd in the Two-Person pieced, Large

(so in the Two-person pieced, Large Catergory, i quilt the first, second, and third place winners)

 Kathy's 'Spring of Hope' won the 3rd place ribbon in Two-Person Applique.

Eddie's 'Soldier's: Service and Sacrifice' hung in the show

and Roxanne's 'Sylvia's Bridal Quilt' also was presented


so there's the ones i helped with....later, the ones that i liked.

this quilt was hand pieced AND hand quilted....


 *don't forget, the pictures will supersize when you click on them. click the back button on your browser to come back here*

*swoon*

and it's in one of my favorite fabrics -batiks!

 beautiful!!! i voted for this one for viewer's choice.

 

i seem to have not taken a picture of this one's tag...sorry to the quilter

this is the same pattern that theresa made (hockey love) from yesterday's post. i wanted to show how different the same quilt can look being made in different fabrics...

 

i hope i get enough wedding blocks to make a quilt like this! these blocks are tiny though- 6inches!

this one had a perfect name!!!

a great example of how to make a quilt from men's ties.

this was the star of the show:  Best of Show, Quilter's Choice (voted by the quilters with quilts in the show), Viewer's Choice

it is hand pieced and hand quilted.
