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,

The job of a quilt show judge must be amazingly difficult. All of these entries are very well done. There is so much talent out here among your followers.
I had several favorites as I looked through the entries but I finally choose Jern Siew for the poinsettias and Noreen Borys for the sunflowers. Beautiful work all!
Gail Griffin
Pat Williams #1 – beautiful!
Cindy
Jern Siew gets my vote. Beautiful work on all of them,
Patti Turner
I vote for Jern Siew for the Pointsettia quilt and Pat Williams #1 for the sunflower quilt. They are all really beautiful and you can tell lots of work went into each of them.

Jenn Siew

My vote goes to Colette Hawkins for well shaped petals and a well divided background area with clear variation in background scale of motifs. The use of shadow fabric also adds structure to the whole.
I must admit that Noreen Borys use of different threads is also stunning and all the quilts are beautiful. Well done everyone.
Barbara
My fave is Jern Siew’s quilt!
Mary Robertson

They are all very good but I like Lynn Brazen’s one the best, for the bold use of fabric.
Chris
Noreen Borys I like the contrast, but they are all very good.

My vote is for Pat Williams #1. Love both of hers were beautiful and also Jern Siew’s piece was gorgeous. Hard to choose.
Jane
My vote is for Noreen Borys as best one. She filled the whole space with quilting. counted at least 8 different patterns around sunflower. Darker binding accents dark and light threads used. Cornerstone design is great. Border design all around is outstanding.
judy powell
Noreen Borys #1 because she finished the outside border. Pat Williams #2, love the colors but looks unfinished around outside.
Elizabeth Roehr
Noreen Borys was my choice. They are all beautiful and must be stunning in person.
D Hersh
Pat Williams #1. I love the thread colors.
Sally
These are all terrific. I like Pat Williams-#2 best.
Mary
I chose Jana Pras! I was impressed with the texture created, and the lovely braided wheat border.
Great ” contest” ! Didn’t have the time to participate, but have a Van Gogh panel to work on, and will try some of the patterns on it!
Kim Vogel
Pat Williams #1 although this was a tough competition! Congratulations everyone! Beautiful work and so many variations.
Regina DeCapite

I think they are all wonderful. I still have this on my bucket list to do soon. Congrats to all who finished it.
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!

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
Suzanna Trail
Hard decision. Noreen Borys was my final decision. Congratulations to all for great quilting.

Who can choose? They all get my vote.

Lynn Brazen. You wouldn’t have thought that fabric would work, but it’s beautiful.

They are all wonderful, but I vote for Joan Liboiron.

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.

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!

Noreen Borys quilt took my eye, but there were many very well done pieces. Thanks for sharing.

Pat Williams #1. I would have been proud to have made any one of them.
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.
Barbara Alten
I’m voting for Noreen Borys sunflower quilt. It’s beautiful and very pleasing to the eye with the variegated threads.
