I just visited Lynn's blog http://sewnwildoaks.blogspot.com/ and was pleased to learn that one of her quilts was on display at the quilt show. I wish I had known. I looked at so many, but I think I do remember hers because I love the traditional quilt styles and spent more time looking at them.
This quilt won Best in Show. I guess you can see why.
This quilt looks like a huge photo from afar.
The quilter used quite a few techniques to get her desired effect. The water is silver decorative thread.
This one I love.
Of course, I love this cat quilt. But I noticed that the quilter kept her fmq simple and achieved a pleasant effect, which won her a ribbon. There are feathers quilted in the sashing, but the squares are simpler.
God Bless.

Beautiful quilt! That cat quilt is amazing, and I also love the cat quilt at the end of your blog...love the bright colors!
I saw the best in show at PIQF last October....when it was also the best in show. That quilt is AMAZING! The kitty quilt is a work of art. Thanks for the virtural tour of the show Joanna.
Thank you :-) just love seeing art x x x x

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the show, Joanna - bit odd the 'no publicity' woman - what did she think you were going to do with the pics??
Some of the quilts I saw at the FoQ in Birmingham (UK) last year I thought were so clever and intricate BUT more ornamental than useful - I like to chuck my quilts on the bed, snuggle under them & have the cats sit on 'em!
Looks like you went to a great show. I love the kitties - especially the yellow one in the lime green border. Happy quilting.
