This is the winner of the Quilters Guild challenge, the theme was gardens and this quilt was made by Yvonne Brown
this is the winner in the my first quilt category, made by Jill Johnson and quilted in the quilt as you go method, very nice, this one really caught my eye. This one got a lot of attention, a first quilt and beautifully made, what impressed me too was her fabric and colour choice
this is the art quilt winner by Merce Gonzaez Desedamas in Spain called sunrise, moonrise
winner in the 2 person quilt section was this one by Mark and Bridget Mann who are mother and son. Screen printed onto recycled men`s suits creating a portrait of the mathematical code breaker and founder of the Computer Science sorry do not know his name, not in the catalogue
this is the secondary school winning quilt, made by the Rebecca Palmer original sewing group form Cappamore Ireland
this is the group quilt winner, made by Tanglewood Textiles a group of 6
seem to have slipped up here and have no details of this one but I am sure it was in the winning section
this is I believe the winner in the miniature section, Roberta Le Poidevin from St Peters stitched this one
I did not find the section with all the miniature ones in, this was in the section where they had all the winning quilts.
Hope you enjoy seeing these, sorry will not be sharing all 700 with you all but maybe will share a few more in a couple of days if anyone would like to see more.

Thanks for sharing! I'm surprised that the trend seems to be away from traditional block piecing and more to art quilts with subdued colors. Was the show just for art quilts or are traditional quilts just out of favor? Seems like the winners are quilts that don't have definition. Interesting. XO
The quilts are lovely and no wonder that those won.

Hello Margaret, thank you for taking the trouble to share the photos of the wonderful quilts. I caught up also with the post before where you are showing many more beautiful quilts and ..... the grandfather clock. I can't quite understand it. Is it hard, has it a woodden core? Is the outside made of fabric? We own such a clock which we bought in England a few - in fact many - years ago. We love it - it gives such a warm character to the room. But now, one in fabrics!!!
Another set of lovely quilts. I love first one.
Alrighty! Some more eye candy. I'm in love with that second one...wow!
Thanks for sharing.
I love the one with the tulips on, so beautiful.
I bet you've got so many ideas going round in your head.

a nice variety of styles. so many talented people out there.
Ooh, aah...isn't it just fun to see what others are doing and what folks come up with? I always learn something going to quilt shows.
Thanks for posting these, Margaret. I agree with you that the Jill Johnson one is extraordinary - looks perfect. I also really like the code breaker.
More Please
Thank you Margaret what a stunning collection.
Margaret ,you are lovely like always keeping us informed about what is happen . Thanks very much for the picture and I have to say there is a good collection of quilts to delight our eyes with .
Love most of them they are so different yet so beautiful on they own :)
I loved the Jill Johnson quilt!! Lovely pictures,Margaret...thank you for sharing these..
The rabbit quilt in the school category posted in the previous post is also awesome.I loved it.
Amazing, I l ove the flowery one best :) xxx
These quilts are truly amazing! I am awed at the lovely textures and techniques that have been used in each one making them so unique . I loved all of them but the one with the sunrise, moonrise and the one with the portrait are two of my favorites !
Thanks so much for the virtual tour. I think the code breaker one is a portrait of Alan Turing.
Thank you for sharing this pictures. These quilts are beautiful.
Beautiful quilts. Thanks so much for sharing!
It is nice to see so many of the quilts again, that I did not take a photograph of. Thank you for letting me revisit the show.
Thanks for showing these Margaret. It does seem that a lot of the quilts at this particular show are art rather than traditional. I do hope we're not going to lose the traditional idea of quilts that go on beds and laps. They're always what I think of as quilts whereas wallhangings are art. Even though they are not my thing, I can still enjoy looking at them at seeing new techniques etc.
thank you for sharing, I am in awe of some of the quilts. the one on the mens suiting is incredible
wow!!!!
would love to see more
