2014 Folsom Quilt and Fiber Guild Show-Part 2
On to the “Big Quilt Room” of the show:
What a charming quilt! Geri Richardson designed and appliqued “9 Lives Plus 3”, featuring 12 months of cats. Quilted by Shireen Hattan.
Sandi Fong made and quilted “Hearty Heart of Hearts” to do double duty as a Valentine’s quilt and for her anniversary. The feather quilting was beautiful.
This was one of my favorites. Suzie Quinnell made and quilted “Zenspiration”. She combined traditional log cabin blocks, zentangled blocks, silk and some fabulous quilting to make this gorgeous quilt.
I love this quilt! Donna Brennan made and pieced “Quilty Qwerty” and I love how effectively she used value and color. Donna used guild member Judy Sisneros’ Circle Pizzazz pattern and a collection of typewriter/bird/stamp and print fabrics.
There were two of these Block of the Month appliqued quilts in the show and I had the best photo of Patty Blesso’s “Spring Bouquet”. Gorgeous quilting by Debra Lopez and what fun colors!
This simple periwinkle quilt, “Modern Periwinkle Paisley”, made and quilted by Deb Winterling just tugged on my heart-so sweet, so simple, just beautiful.
Shireen Hattan embroidered and quilted Hoop Sisters Feathered Star”, a Block of the Month quilt. Shireen used silk, satin and lame to give a very luxe look to this gorgeous quilt.
Pam Burke designed “In a Galaxy Far Far Away” to include a number of Mariner’s Compass blocks she had pieced. Quilted by Shireen Hattan. I admire anyone who can make a good Mariner’s Compass!
Janeen Lafreniere made and quilted “Jumbrella”-a charming quilt that was one of the audience favorites.
Helen Hardwick made and pieced “Quilt for a Fireman” for her husband’s friend. He preferred another design and declined on this quilt! The yellow/reds are hand dyes and the gray/black a commercial ombre.
Claudia Norman embroidered and quilted “Golden Goose”, a Hoop Sisters Design. I love the colors and flow of this quilt. He was not listed on the program but I think Skip helped a little!
I received Best of Show for my “Morning Breeze”-my very first BOS! I also received Viewer’s Choice. It delights me that others enjoy my work. I love the plantings in my yard so if others enjoy this quilt, I feel like I’m walking my yard with them, pointing out the beauty of the plants and how gorgeous they are in the wind.
Congratulations Jenny! Your work is beautiful.
Thank you Connie!
WOW! Congratulations again! Best in Show! You go girl!
Sandy
Thanks Sandy-it was a wild ride!
WOOHOO! Congrats!! Can’t wait to see you in Houston!!
YESSSSS-Houston! We WILL meet up this time.
Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations.
Thank you Debbie-I really enjoyed making that quilt.
Oh yeah, baby, look at you with all those ribbons! You rocked it-so proud of you, well deserved!
It was my first BOS-fun while it lasted!
Thank you for the lovely photos. So nice to see quilts even when I’m in my slippers in rainy Oregon!! Your quilt is really inspiring. Such beautiful work. I’m also interested in what you are wearing. Looks like a collar over a jacket or????? Can you tell me more about it?
Glad you enjoyed them Mary Helen. Can you send some rain down here??? The jacket is one that would work well in Oregon-I call it a San Francisco raincoat. It is just a shell, the hood folds down as a collar or up as a hood, it compacts into nothing and is very light weight. They’re made by Mycra Pac. It’s an “investment piece”. I’ve wanted one since I’ve been here in Ca-13 yrs! Hubby bought it for me for my birthday.
Congrats Jenny! You earned those ribbons!
Thank you Laura! And it only took 8 months to complete:-/
Fabulous quilt! I’m so glad the show judges got “best of show” right. And then to have the show’s visitors confirm their judgment….is your head still up in the clouds?
Thanks Joanna! Yes, it was a new experience getting BOS-it was fun and in some ways stressful.
Wow, look at you in front of that beribboned quilt, all serene and calm as a cucumber. Congratulations! It’s a gorgeous piece and I know you put a lot of yourself into it. Good for you! :-)
Thanks Rebecca-your comments make me LOL! It was a joy.
Thank you for sharing the pictures of the quilt show. I enjoyed all the quilts but they look so different when shown in a photo. They look so different when seen from a distance. I also especially enjoyed your Morning Breeze quilt. Congratulations.
Thank you Kay-glad you enjoyed it. Photos do make them look different. Most look way better in person-someday I will improve my photography skills!
Jenny!!! Congratulations!!!
Ah, thank you Debby! It was fun to be BOS!!
