Maine Quilts, Blue Ribbons
Friday, July 31st, 2009Last weekend was Maine Quilts, the annual show put on by the Pine Tree Quilt Guild (PTQG). The judging this year was quite tough, with only five blue ribbons out of nearly 100 judged quilts. Although I didn’t get much time to savor the show (the first day I took hubby, his first time ever going to a show with me…hoooray!…so I promised him we wouldn’t have to stay long—since it was torrential rain, it also ended up being crazy crowded, and the second day I got there late), I did have time to take pictures of the five blue ribbon quilts plus a couple of others. (In theory, the photos should be clickable for a larger view.)
Here is the Best in Show quilt, a hand and machine appliqued quilt with a ton of quilting (Machine):
And the other blue ribbon winners, one of which also won a judges’ choice:
And of course, (blush, smile) mine:
I’ll have a couple more posts about the show… some of my favorites that I just snapped while breezing through, art quilts, and Jo Diggs’ special exhibit. More soon!
