Snowman Collector by
Leanna Olmsted - 1st Place |
 |
| I saw this
quilt at a Puyallup crafts fair. I bought
the kit, Snowman Collector by The Stitch
Connection, as a block of the month from a shop
in California, QuuiltinCross. I love
snowmen and have an assortment of ceramic
snowmen. so this fit right in with my
collection. I am a beginning long arm
quilter and after attempting to quit this one, I
realize I am not ready for prime time! But
I love the quilt. And I made this one for
me. Machine pieced, machine quilted. |

Dragonflies Are Free - 2nd
Place |
 |
| I found
this kit at Tangled Threads in Lynden, WA and
fell in love with it. I loved the sense
that the dragonflies are floating on air.
At my summer home in Maine, dragonflies are
frequent visitors. I love how they flit and
dance. The pattern by Southwind Designs is
called "Dance of the Dragonflies". Machine
pieced, machine quilted. |

That Damn Quilt by
Corrine Schmelzer - 3rd Place |
 |
|
This was a row
a month kit that nearly ended up a row a year!
I started in 2000 and finished in 2006. It
was a very frustrating project and there wasn't
always enough fabric included. Determine
to finish it, I'd go home and work on "That Damn
Quilt". Hand and machine pieced, machine
quilted. |

Gee, I'm Bright by
Jean Quinby - HM |
 |
|
This was a kit
quilt, purchased in Denver 9-04. I saw the
quilt in a magazine in July with kit available.
We were going on a trip in September so I waited
and purchased it then from "The Great American
Quilt Factory". Since then a book has been
published with a picture on the cover like this
quilt. Machine pieced, machine quilted. |
