Heirloom Quilter Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hey Everyone, Vickie Oliver, aka Beachside Quilter, asked me to share some photos we took this weekend at the Naples Quilters Guild quilt show, here in Florida. We had a great day at the show. She won 2 blue ribbons and one red ribbon. If I have that wrong I'm sure she'll correct me. lol The first picture is of us standing with her Family Tree Challenge quilt. She won a first for this one. It's a Totem Pole Quilt. The second photo is a close up of her Modern Quilt and the third photo is of her Challenge quilt from the SWFQG. She did an outstanding job on all three of these quilts. I feel honored to have her as my mentor and friend.

Beachside Quilter Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks for posting for me, Debbie! My computer is still out. Had a great time at the show with you and Brian. My Totem also won a 1st in Art quilts, and my Modern and Challenge basket each won a Vendor's Choice Award. It's been a busy year; now I need to get back to my customers' quilts!

Beachside Quilter Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Congrats Debbie. I Love the modern quilting you did, but that challenge quilt........OMG! LOVE LOVE LOVE what I can see of it! Thanks, Sheri! The bottom picture is my challenge piece. The "challenge" was to make a cherry basket block using a 1890's pattern which used 27 teeny triangles in the basket. I used a class piece done in Irena Bluhm's coloring class as my center and added four paper pieced baskets in the corners. Of course, I had to teach myself paper piecing to accomplish it. The triangles are smaller than a dime. I hand colored the center and then trapuntoed it and added embellishments. First time paper piecing, coloring, trapunto and embellishing. I should have named it "Class Piece" . Oh, best of all, it was all made from materials in my "stash". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
