dancingstitcher Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Best 1st Time Entry Pieced Vicki Bohnhoff QP 78 Anthem, AZ Vibrations 39"x39" This was the happy news today that I won a ribbon in the Hoffman Challenge. Took a pineapple class from Dee Lynn, a local teacher, and used the Hoffman fabric which grew into this quilt. The sunflowers are machine embroidered with a stock design that came with my Viking. There are four pastels in the light sections, four varigated fabrics from the same line in the pineapple blocks near the edges, used a blueberry fabric for the binding and another defining line around the blocks, fussy cut the motifs and featured them in the diamonds, then used my Millennium to stitch a custom design. With the same pastel pink from the front I made a back that would show the stitching design nicely. Can't wait to see what other people did with the Hoffman fabric. Hope to see Vibrations in an exhibit so this will be a good excuse to go to Houston and Road to CA again. Yippee! Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancingstitcher Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thank you for your enthusiastic cheers and V I B E S. Yes, a whole year is a long time for it to be on tour. It was one of those quilts where the process was just so much fun and a little sad to get to the end. I do wonder what I will be doing a year from now. Currently four of us are working on our Daisy Mountain Quilters' chapter banner to be exhibited October 13 at the fall meeting of Arizona Quilters Guild. It is our first venture into landscape quilting style and we're having a great time experimenting and chatting, of course. I can see why some quilters resort to hand dying their fabrics to get just the right color. Enjoy the experimenting aspect of quilting! Thanks again.

Lynne Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Good Heavens, was anybody else struck by the resemblence between Vickie and Cathey in AZ...I thought they were the same person and had to go back a couple of times to see!!! Thought I was having a senior moment with names. Maybe it's just the picture and in person they wouldn't look anything alike, but it sure had me confused. BTW Vickie your quilt is just great!!! I love pineapples and the workmanship in your construction looks wonderful, as does your quilting. I can see why you won!

quiltmonkey Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Lynne, you are not crazy...I've thought the same thing about Vicki and Cathey looking similar. I think they could be sisters! Maybe they are??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
