yankiequilter Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I am almost embarrassed but am sharing because I like to hear when someone has success and thought you might also. I entered 7 quilts in my guild's show and won with all of them. There were 285 entries and we had an NQA judge for the show.Summer Salsa and Gooseberry Garden won honorable mention.The Farmer's Wife won second place.Diamonds are Forever, Bittersweet Too, Starry Burst and Minglewood Autumn won first place.If that wasn't enough excitement I also won four awards. Best use of color with Diamonds are Forever, best representation of theme (Autumn in the Ozarks) with Bittersweet Too, best professional quilting with Gooseberry Garden, best technical skills with Minglewood Autumn, which also won best of show. My heart is pounding all over again just writing about it!I used Quilt Path on all of the quilts, along with SID and stitching around applique where appropriate, and very little free motion. Quilt Path is a winner! Gooseberry Garden was my first experience quilting around applique and curved crosshatch. A big thanks to Linda Rech for her curved crosshatch rulers and explaining how to use them. The quilt, along with Bittersweet Too, sold at the show! WooHoo!Thanks for looking and sharing my excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
