Good Morning, Quilters!
Welcome, welcome!
The doors are open to our Sunflowers in December Quilt Show! The quilts are all free motion quilting samplers from our recent online FREE machine quilt-a-long HERE
One of the best things about a quilt show like this is seeing the individuality of each quilt–even when we all started with the same basic concept and composition. The quilts are very beautiful and very creative! Thank you to all who participated!
BEST OF SHOW
Today’s show is being judged by YOU-the viewers. Please vote on your favorite. The name of the artist is below the quilt and please include the number if there is one. (Do try to evaluate each quilt based on the quilt itself and not the photography–quilt photography is very tricky!)
The winner (announced on Friday, December 23) will receive a box of sewing goodies–thread, fabric and notions from The Inbox Jaunt as well as bragging rights!
THANK YOU to all who participated. YOUR quilts are all BEST of SHOW!
Sunny (though -22F)-in-Minnesota,

Noreen Borys, but it was a hard decision. I love the variety of ways everyone completed the Sunflower!
Vickie A
They were all beautiful. Noreen Borys gets my vote because of the beautifully shaped petals and background quilting that made the flower pop.
Marina van Vorst
Dear Lori,
my favorite quilt is the one of Noreen Borys.

Noreen Borys is my pick. Nice job Noreen!
Robin Wheat
I like Noreen Boryss’ version.
Gillian Rapson
Pat Williams No 1 is my favourite.
Elise
I vote for Pat Williams #2. ?
Paula Tursi Park
First, ALL the quilts are beautiful. You all took the initiative of creating one of a kind that cannot be duplicated. I really enjoyed them all. I vote for Pat Williams #1. Good luck, and keep quilting!
Lynne Capehart
Not an easy choice. I have three favorites: Noreen Borys, Pat Williams #1, and Carol Pitts. Can’t choose between the three.
Ann Lindquist
I thought they were all beautiful. Great job to all.
Marta
What a dilemma! They are every one wonderful. I was privileged to be a judge in some art and photography exhibits in the past. Always a difficult job! I also want to say that our daughter’s wedding had a professional photographer. My dress was purple and in all the photos, it looked royal blue.
For the quilting here, I love so many of them.. I will pick Debbie Kanavel as First, Joan Liboiron as Second and Colette Hawkins, Pat Williams 2, Peggy Beck and Noreen Borys tied for Third. Wish I could see them all in person…drool !!
Wish the poinsettias had their own exhibit.
Ruth
Noreen Borys!
Monica Hendewerk
Pat Williams #1. Loved all of them. So interesting to see how the color of the thread made such a big difference!!

Pat Williams #1

What a gorgeous quilt show! I am voting for Jern Siew because she has inspired me to make a quilt just like that. And now that I have been doodling your motifs, Lori, I know that I can do it!
Linda Arbuckle
Noreen Borys. All were lovely but hers was my favorite.

Pat Williams No. 1
Willeke van der Heijden
Pat Williams 1 is my favourite, but I like them all! Beautiful job.
Karen Salemi
Joan Liboiron gets my vote. Honorable mention to Christine Barnsley #3 and Carol Pitts. They were all beautiful but these three really grabbed my attention.
Darlene Storey
I vote for the Noreen Borys sunflower quilt
Gerri Pymm
I vote for Jern Siew. Lovely concept for the sun flowers
Kathy
My favorite is by Barb Ellis. Even enlarging the picture on my screen, I cannot tell if she used thread or paint, but I like the way she made the yellow travel from upper right to lower left — the sun is shining on her flower. All the choices were very nicely done, making it very difficult to choose.
Susan Coolidge
Pat Williams #1
Karen
Noreen Borys. I love variegated and she finished beautifully.
Barbara Alten
I’m voting for Noreen Borys sunflower quilt. It’s beautiful and very pleasing to the eye with the variegated threads.
Kathe
Can we vote for more than one? I found three that I loved. They are all wonderful but I think I have to vote for Pat Williams #1 as my first choice in keeping with the sunflower theme. Since it’s Christmas I also loved Jern Siew’s (thoughtful and imaginative setting) and Christine Barnsley #1.
ellheath
Pat Williams #1. I would have been proud to have made any one of them.
Virginia Hanson
Noreen Borys quilt took my eye, but there were many very well done pieces. Thanks for sharing.
Joy
Love Jana Pratt’s sunflower!
Rosie
I loved them all, but Pat Williams #1 stood out for me! Great job ladies!
Ingrid Slatta
Pat Williams #2 speaks to me.
Carole @ From My Carolina Home
Oh, heavens, what a difficult choice!! I love several! I’ll have to go with Denise Smart’s it is really wonderful. But they all are prize worthy!

Pat Williams #1 ….it was a hard choice….each quilt had merits of it’s own…but her two were my favorites and #1 beat out #2 by a hair.
Chris Geschwantner
Pat Williams -#1
Lisa Horn
They are all amazing! I must go with Noreen Bourys entry.
Ginny L
I vote for Joan Liboiron
Thelma Goodnough
Noreen Borys–loved the depth of the inside of the sunflower head and orange being my favorite.
Karen
I vote for the quilt done by Noreen Borys
Priscilla Reed
I liked a lot of the quilts, but Noreen Borys’ really caught my eye.
Diane Kelley
Lynn Brazen. You wouldn’t have thought that fabric would work, but it’s beautiful.
Janice
They are all wonderful, but I vote for Joan Liboiron.
Jean Q.
Who can choose? They all get my vote.
Suzanna Trail
Hard decision. Noreen Borys was my final decision. Congratulations to all for great quilting.
dragee
I vote for Pat Williams # 1 as a sunflower quilt and for Christine Barnsley # 1 as a poinsettia quilting. It was difficult to make a choice, they were all beautiful and interesting. Many wishes from France
Debbie Horton
Wow! They are all so creactive. And all beautifully executed in their own right. Pat Williams 2 caught my eye due to fabric and thread choice and for the motifs chosen as well as where she placed them. And she did such a good job with her quilting. Norden Boys is my second choice.
Diana Lassahn
Peggy Beck’s flower,etc. was very well done. Loved them all, but Peggy’s was so evenly quilted and so nicely detailed. I especially noticed the small flower in each quarter of the mini quilt.
Peggy Beck
Thank you for your kind comments!
Karen Ishii
I think they are all wonderful. I still have this on my bucket list to do soon. Congrats to all who finished it.
