Empire Quilters Urban Inspirations 2009 Quilt Show

The Empire Quilters Urban Inspirations 2009 Quilt Show was held this week-end. My Grandma’s Hexagarden received the Best Pieced award. (Don’t you love the ribbon!!!!) This quilt was entered into the wrong category. One judge stated: “It is a pity, the correct category would have brought this piece higher points”. Since it is not quilted no points could be given for Quilting Design (15 points possible) and Quilting (15 points possible). Next show I will make sure this quilt gets into the Other Techniques category.
Here I am standing proudly by my quilt while it was hanging at the show.
I like the way these signs were constructed and hung – food for thought for the QQQ Birthday Party.

While the quilt was hanging at the show I got a few good close-up shots.



I also entered my Splash of Silver. One judge loved it and the other deducted alot of points. Go figure. Kind of funny how things work out. It did look nice hanging in the show. It is always fun to see my work hanging with such wonderful quilts.


It was a great show. I appreciate all those that worked so hard to make it possible. Thanks to the quilt show committee and all the volunteers that made this wonderful show possible!
