Highlights of the Quilt Show

Director's Choice Award

Favorite quilt in the whole show. The picture just does not do it justice. In the off white strips along the border, the words to the Declaration of Independence are embroidered. There is a rhinestone for every word of the Declaration throughout the quilt which gives it a great sparkle. The piecing and quilting where immaculate and precise. On the back it said, "Proud to be an American". This quilt should be hanging in The White House or The Smithsonian or by The Liberty Bell. INCREDIBLE! It had the largest crowd of admirers throughout the day even though it was across from this quilt,

Best in Show

which won Best in Show. The prize money was double between the Director's Choice and Best in Show. I know they look at stiches and stuff I can't even begin to comprehend, but I think they got it wrong. That American, Declaration of Independence quilt was Amazing and everyone else thought so too.

Best in Long Arm Quilting

I really liked the detail of this quilt. All that gold is gold embroidery. Unbelievable!

Beautiful Baltimore Quilt.

Amazing Applique Quilt

Another applique quilt, these quilters are truly artists.

Vibrant Crazy Quilt

I didn't bring my camera and I had to use my phone. It took pretty good pictures but you just can't see the awesome detail in these wonderfully amazing quilts. They were so inspiring. It was a fun day.
