Post Show Blues & Ribbons

A good thing! I love the Blues, my favorite music genre. Chairing Vendors with my quilt guild has been fun. My favorite part is meeting vendors and getting to know them. My paperwork is ready to turn in at our wrap up meeting and I am looking forward to spending more time improving my quilting skills and finishing my own quilts :0)

I love to see my customers quilts displayed and am quite proud to say that 5 of their quilts that were entered to be judged won ribbons! More deserved them, in fact all of them ;0) Showing off my customers quilts this morning... starting off with Pam's Swoon (not judged). I am amazed at the talent we have in our guild. Enjoy

The Rose ~ by Kathy T

This is a combination of quilting and embroidery which Kathy is really good at. Kathy is on her way to becoming an accomplished longarmer with quilts displayed as well.

Barbara Michels has been longarming for a long time and is really good! One of her own quilts received two ribbons, a 1st place and Best in Show. Congratulations Barbara!

Well done ladies! It's an honor to be in your company 

Sew'n Wild Oaks

 This is Lynn Wilder's Sew'n Wild Oaks booth set up 

at Annie's Star Quilt guild in Chico CA

Our guild was very fortunate to have Lynn and Gail join us as a vendor

plus earlier this year Lynn was our guest speaker at our guild meeting 

followed by a great workshop. I learned allot from Lynn's Patchwork Math book! 

These are pix from Lynn's blog. Lynn also posted some pix of our member's quilts along with quilts made by Donna Greenwald, our featured quilter. Check it out here!

I have yet to download all the pix I took at the show. I was so tiered following the show, I was asleep really early, as soon as I got home and my head rested on my pillow. Of course, now I'm up early thinking about what a wonderful weekend we all enjoyed! Stay tuned for pix later this morning! First, back for a few more ;~zzzzzzzs tot ziens, Jo

Napa Valley Quilt Show

There were large lights with bulbs that cast a yellow glow over everyone a did effect the color of the quilts. I edited some of the pics to help a little. The vendors were not happy with the lighting. I passed out a few applications to new to our guild vendors. Visited with Jill of A Designing Woman, she does each of our ASQG show for years. We love to see her applique patterns, they are beautiful. 

This quilt made by Patti Glenn may have been made from on of Jill's patterns. It's just her style. I really liked how Patti quilted this piece. A few really little quilts and one that is made in little sections, nice! 

Enjoy your weekend

We have more of Napa to explore

Groetjes, Jo
