Splendid Stars
by Mary Hickey - 1st Place |
 |
| I have
always wanted to make a feathered star quilt (this
pattern is from Encyclopedia of Quilts).
When I found the border and sashing fabrics I knew
I was ready. I really enjoyed choosing the
fabrics for each block and piecing the stars.
My dear Amish friend, Fannie Schwartz, did a
fantastic job hand-quilting the quilt. We
both love the quilt and love working together to
make really fine quilts. |

Kansas City Inspiration No. 2
by
Joan Dawson - 2nd
Place |
 |
|
I enjoyed so
much appliquéing my first quilt using the Kansas
City Star patterns that I had to make another.
I designed this quilt and again based it on the
old '30s patterns. Is this the final one?
I did the hand quilting. Machine quilting by
Judy Irish. |

Friendship Knot
by
Mary Calderon - 3rd Place Tie |
 |
|
I wanted to do
a solid-arch Friendship Knot like Roxanne Carter's
pieced one. I loved this floral pattern and
wanted to feature it and the plum. I also
wanted it specially quilted so took it to Judy
Irish and told her to have fun. |
