I'm late in reporting news from the Vermont Quilt Festival because Hanna had 2 wisdom teeth pulled on Monday, but she is doing well and looking like a cute chipmunk.
On With The Show!
To my utter Delight - Christine Wickert won Best in Show for her lovely silk quilt. I first shared this quilt in this post.
She also received Best Appliqué and Exception Merit
I met her at the show and she is so nice and friendly, just a lovely talented lady. She was so gracious and answered any questions about her masterpiece.
and here are some of my other favorites at the show:
This is my favorite pattern quilt at the moment - I just love all the elements and detail.
A really creative take on the Hunter Star - Best Quilting on Long Arm and Special Merit.
The judges honored me with a Blue Ribbon for my Mother's Garden. (bad phone picture, sorry).
I'll be back soon with more reports from the Shelburne Museum and more quilts. I hope you enjoyed the quilts I posted today.

Not only did I enjoy it, I just loved it! Impatient to see the rest.
Enjoyed the quilts, cards and your comments very much. Also got a kick out of your comment == This is my favorite pattern quilt at the moment - at the moment, will have to remember that.
Oh yes, I remember your post about the silk applique quilt. Looks like the quilt maker was justly rewarded this time.
I like the log cabin quilt with the applique border. Lots of surprises in the applique.
And congratulations on your ribbon.
I like your Liberty quilt in the header.
Oh my heart is in overdrive - the sailing ships! the fab log cabin! The piecing, colors & quilting - over the top!
A couple of us were in Barnes & Noble & looked at American Quilter - there was your wonderful quilt!!! How exciting for you. Well done.
Looking forward to more from VQF

Woohoo, congrats on your blue ribbon. Were there more applique quilts than in the past, or is it just that they were the ones you were drawn too. There were some beauties there, but I don't think I'd have patience to work on some of them!
Kudos on your VQF ribbon! It's well-deserved. Mothers Garden is one of my favorites.
Your quilt continues to have a remarkable journey. Congrats! Your show and tell was also remarkable. Ive thoroughly enjoyed scrutizing the photos. Truly awesome.
Congrats on your blue ribbon. Well deserved! And thanks for posting VQF quilts.

I would most defiantly like to see that silk one in person!
Thanks for sharing!
Nothing makes my heart go pitter pat quite like a post filled with lovelies like these from a quilt show. The info on those cards is always appreciated. Your quilt is honored again--hearty congrat's on that!
Looking forward to more photos from the show.

So happy for your ribbon - it's such a great quilt. And thanks for all the pics - love going to these virtual quilt shows!
Thank you so much for posting these magnificent quilts. They are truly beautiful and I do think the silk might be my favorite. Thanks again for taking the time to post them
Great Show. Your heart is obviously with the traditional quilts~
FYI, Mara Novak's red & white quilt did not receive best longarm quilting. That went to Marilyn Badger's Superstar, which you also show.
