It's the second day of Sandown quilt show and while it was quiet, before the doors opened, I was able to nip round taking a few photographs of quilts. Want to have a look?
This quilt, Night Owl by long-arm quilter Joë Bennison, who as on one of our courses recently, caught my eye and that of the judges because it was awarded a 1st in the Longarm Machine Quilting category. A wholecloth, it is the thread and quilt patterns which tell the story.
Another quilt which uses a lot of quilting patterns was our friend Bec Handyside's 'Spiers Lane' and was chosen as a Judge's Choice by Jennie Raymont. Like me, Becs is a passionate quilter and cyclist and this quilt is of one of her local rides in Hampshire. I love all the different quilting patterns she has used, I just want to ride off into that sunset!
There were only two items entered into the Wearables Category, and our friend and past C&G student, Melanie Pask, was awarded a Judge's Merit for her embellished velvet corset.
You may have seen that one of the short courses we offer is the 'Recipe Quilt' and this may have left you wondering what it's all about! The three quilts above, made by Marion, Sue and Debs were all made on this course. Marion and Sue used some of their hand dyed stash whilst Debs chose to incorporate an orphan applique panel.
The last two quilts for today where made by Jane Wheeler. One of them won an award in the Miniature Category, can you tell which one it was?
I hope I'll have time to photograph some more quilts tomorrow, so pop back over soon,
