Our judge this year was Scott Murkin from North Carolina.
My Harvest Moon and Pumpkins got a second place. the pattern is from Blackbird designs (with alterations.)
Raspberry lemonade (which should have been Strawberry Lemonade for those of you who also did this blog project!) received a third place ribbon.
My Pink Spider Web didn't get a ribbon but it is still my favorite quilt.
I also entered my little shirtings wallhanging "Augusta in April." These are all recycled shirts in colors we see here in spring. I machine quilted it in the wavy modern style. Learned a lot!
And also in the non-judged category I put my Halloween tumblers. It was a just a fun quilt. I also quilted this myself on my domestic machine. Just went through the photos and realized I don't have a good one of this! duh...will post a photo later!
We also had great vendors at this show...lots of wool, baskets, storage systems, machines, and of course fabric. Our local quilt shop had a fatquarter special of 20 FQ for $25!
The guild tried something new this year. Instead of door prized they had drawings on special baskets...$1 a chance. These were great prizes. Both of the local shops donated a sewing machine! There was a vacuum cleaner, several baskets with sewing items, a dog care basket, a coffee basket, and a tourist in your home town basket with tickets to various museums.

My guild's been doing raffle baskets for several years. Last year's chair had a clever idea: she brought a laptop computer and a small printer, and if you bought 20 tickets, she printed labels with your name and phone number, to stick on your tickets. Many people increased their spending to get the labels. I like your guild's "tourist in your home town" idea.
Great to meet you Friday. The show was great. I have spiderweb on my to do list.
Wow! To have two local stores donate sewing machines is amazing. love your little quilts.
