Last week I spent four days in New Jersey with the Brownstone Quilt Guild working on the quilt show. Here is a re-cap:
My Jubilee Quilt won a Blue Ribbon for Bed Quilt and also a Quilt Show Chairman's ribbon. I was so honored I look like a lunatic !!
Nancy and I tied for 3rd place ribbons in the wall quilt pieced category and they are both houses - perfect!
I forgot to get a photo of Hot Flash, but it was awarded an Honorable Mention.
Before all the fun of the show, I was the Judging Chair and responsible for hiring and making arrangements for the judges and organizing the quilts at take in and on judging day.
Pauline and I have done this for the past 4 shows but it is a challenge each time!
Here is an "action shot" of the judging.
100 quilts were judged between 9:30a and 6:00p. It was a long, hard day. Thank you to all who came to help. It couldn't have been done without you!
The show looked the best it every has! We used black curtains and wow - what a difference they make.
Here are my buddies - the Co-Chairs: Pauline and Nancy and the wonderful raffle quilt that they also coordinated.
Here are some and by no means all the quilts I liked. I just ran out of time taking photos.
Quilt shows are put on by volunteers like our Vendor Queen, Norma and our Ribbon Queen, Peg.
Dana's Booth,
Material Pleasures, looked amazing! I was obsessed with the nine patch, of course. I heard she sold the cheddar and blue - yum
Here is what I purchased at her booth: A luscious piece of Toile'
and a vintage fabric and Hanky
I picked up these fabrics~
I added to my low volume and script fabric collections, bought another pair of Karen K Buckley's scissors and those pricey but wonderful needles.
I must be obsessed with my new fabric mist, I took its photo twice.
It was wonderful to see and chat so many friends from my recent visits to Garden State Quilters and Pieced Together Quilters as well as Block Swappers.
Well - That's all folks!
