Kaleidoscope of Quilts


Latest quilt show news!
Anita won Best of Show Wall Quilt and several other ribbons at the Kaleidoscope of Quilts show in Sylvania, OH this weekend. She put different Mariner's Compass blocks, Ohio Stars, and Rising Stars into this quilt for she made for me. She quilted it on the longarm machine, with lots of star, rope, and nautical patterns.




Jen won a First Place ribbon and Best Computerized Quilting with her wholecloth quilt "Sunny Side Up." She designed the layout of her patterns on the computer and stitched out the fancy patterns with a golden brown thread. Then she did free-motion quilting to add texture in the background.










But we're most excited for Amber, who won a First Place ribbon in the Pieced Bed Quilt category! This is her second quilt, but the first time she has won a ribbon.




Brandon entered his first quilt, called "Super Star" into this show too. He was proud to show it off and, of course, got lots of attention and encouragement from everyone who saw it.

Congratulations to everyone! Three generations of winning quilters! A virtual trifecta of winningness! Love your quilt, too, Brandon! It's a winner in my book.
