Festival of Quilts 2013 part 3


These are some of the quilts that caught my eye. 


Nice pinwheels 








Loved the fussy cutting in these stars. Hand quilted too.

 Nice edge treatment too.






How about this. Eat your heart out Madonna.

More from The Festival of Quilts

Have been back to the FOQ today mainly to collect my quilt and the Shipton Quilters Group quilt. 
I have been sitting here reading the judges comments and it is funny how three people have differing opinions about a quilt. 
I guess even if their is a formula it's never going to come out the same. 
So this is how it goes for the group quilt.
Fulfils Catergory/ Theme rules.          2 Excellent 1 Good    Satisfactory
Visual Impact / Emotional Response. 1  "             2 "
Originality /Content.                           1  "              2 "
Design, Composition,Colour.             2  "              1 "
Choice & Suitability of Material           2  "              1 "
Surface Design & Embellishment     
Not Applicable                                   2 n/a.          1  " don't understand 2 think its not applicable

Piecing construction /accuracy          2                 1 "
Applique design & execution
Not Applicable.                                 3 they all agree that their was none
Quilting Design & Execution.             2 ex.                               1
Edge Treatment, hangs well.             3
So the only thing they all agreed about was that edge treatment and hangs well and their was no appliqué on it. 


Three judges and three differing opinions. I'm baffled but  hey I often am. What does one person see that another doesn't?
You deserve some photos after this little post.


Very innovative and well deserved Group Quilt win.



What a beautiful winning  miniature. 


This one actually won best in show too.


Beautifully quilted by Sandie Chandler





Hunters Star by Helen Brookham and quilted by Sandie Chandler.



I meet up Virgina today and here she is with her lovely quilt full of reproduction fabrics. 

Will be back soon with a few more photo.
