Report From the Front (VQF) Part 1

Happy (rainy) Fourth of July from New Jersey!

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.
