Quilt Show Quiltville Inspired Display

Scrappy Trip around the World...Siobhan Furgurson

When Bonnie Hunter lived in South Carolina she was a member of my guild, Pieceful Hearts Quilt Guild.
Orca Bay with green strings...
Orca Bay with blue strings...

Since so many of us had made a quilt inspired by Bonnie's workshops, books, magazine articles, and or website we decided to encourage as many as possible to put them into the show.
Roll Roll Cotton Boll #1
Roll Roll Cotton Boll #2
Including the ones hanging in the show, on the upper railings and in the demonstration area display we had 25 quilts representing about 16 patterns.
Pineapple Blossom...won a special ribbon from the Arts Council
So festive!  Made by Barbara Breland

It was fun to see the different takes on the quilts.

Here are two Smith Mountain Quilts...one in 4 colorway brights and the other in two colorways batiks.
We had four Easy Streets!  This one by Judy Lockhart took second in large quilts pieced - single.

  There were over 20 quilts in that category!  (this is a tough group!)
A Cheddar Bowtie by Pat Hinkle!
This quilt was started on one of Bonnie's Cruises....Paula R.
Tomorrow I'll post some of my quilts...

Awesome! I so wish I could have been there -- it looked fabulous and I know you had a great time!

Oh they're just all so pretty. Seems everywhere Bonnie visits (including our guild awhile back), she always gets lots of her quilts in show & tell. I really like the Christmas pineapple blossom. Hmmm, oh NO!! HA!

Just show's how fabulous Bonnie's patterns are! And how nice to see them with each quilter's own interpretation.
