Have to share some of my favorite quilts from the show. The above one was SPECTACULAR. Absolutely stunning. And all densely hand quilted. It won 2nd place in the NQA judging for Pieced Bed - Hand Quilted category, and Members Choice for this category. Pieced and Quilted by Denise Groesbeck.
And then there were two amazing Dear Jane Quilts. Just jaw dropping. The above one was also made and hand quilted by Denise Groesbeck. 3rd place in the NQA judging for Pieced Bed - Hand Quilted category.
So you may ask - what got first place in this category? Dear Jane #2! Shar Snellman made this one and it is amazing. The quilting on it is unbelievable. She even dresses up when she shows her quilt and does a lecture on her Dear Jane journey! It is soooo interesting! Not only did Shar get 1st place for this category, she got Best of Show from the NQA judge.
I guess you could get sick of this name - but Denise also had this wonderful Lancaster quilt. This one was machine quilted though - so don't panic! But it did get 1st place in the Bed Pieced - Long Arm Quilted NQA judging category.
And of course one of my favorite quilts because I helped make it for a friend who's parents were sick with cancer and she had gone to live in FL to take care of them. The blocks were from an internet group we belonged to, and I made the Tonya letters on the front and back. I've always loved how it turned out and all the love that was put into it for my good friend. She got the Members Choice for Group Quilt on this one.
Or how about this awesome log cabin carpenter's star! I"ve made this top - but do you think I"ve got it quilted - noooooo. Sharon Wick did an awesome job! She got 3rd place for NQA judging in Pieced Small - Machine Quilted.
How about this unbelievable paper pieced Christmas Star made by Carol Kowalczyk. She got 1st place in the NQA judging for Pieced Small - Machine Quilted. And also got Members Choice for this category.
I think to close this out for today I'll share the Viewer's Choice quilt. Marcia Hilse won Viewer's Choice in addition to 1st place in the NQA judging for Applique - Machine Quilted, as well as Member's Choice for this catgory! Thats all for today!

Hard to imagine two Dear Janes at one show. Both are very good.
I like the Dear Friends quilt best.
