I drove to Asheville , NC on Friday October 2nd, just before all the rain really hit our area of the country.
This quilt was the Best of Show.
The quilting on this was beyond awesome, as it is all HAND quilted.
I am posting these two miniature quilts for Janet O. to see.
The quilting on this the second place winner was really impressive.
This one won the first place ribbon. All the little leaves are dimensional. I didn't touch it, just put my finger in front of it for the picture.
I would show more pictures of the show, but as I was looking for the stats on these few quilts in the program I read their Photography Policy. It stated that photos were okay to take, but for your own personal use only. The Asheville Quilt Guild Is selling DVDs of the quilts on their web site.
It was an a really good show and North Carolina has some very talented Quilters.
I picked up these kits from Shakerwood Woolens booth. There are going to be nine of these soon and you can get them
HERE from Cathi Gainey.
The book is a new to me technique for applique that was demonstrated by the author Ann Holmes. The pieces of velvet were just for fun and the needle keep pattern is a necessity.
This is what Chipper was doing behind me while I was taking pictures.
Scotty was helping by doing the laundry, not sure that I like his folding technique...
