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,

Kim Vogel
Pat Williams #1 although this was a tough competition! Congratulations everyone! Beautiful work and so many variations.

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!
Sally
These are all terrific. I like Pat Williams-#2 best.
D Hersh
Pat Williams #1. I love the thread colors.
Elizabeth Roehr
Noreen Borys was my choice. They are all beautiful and must be stunning in person.
judy powell
Noreen Borys #1 because she finished the outside border. Pat Williams #2, love the colors but looks unfinished around outside.
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.

My vote is for Pat Williams #1. Love both of hers were beautiful and also Jern Siew’s piece was gorgeous. Hard to choose.
Chris
Noreen Borys I like the contrast, but they are all very good.
Q Bee
They are all very good but I like Lynn Brazen’s one the best, for the bold use of fabric.
Rosemarie
I love Jern Siew’s quilt!
Donna
Pat Williams #1
Mary Robertson
Pat Williams #1. Congrats to all who submitted. You each did a wonderful job!
Barbara
My fave is Jern Siew’s quilt!
Marly
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.

Jenn Siew
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.
Cindy
Jern Siew gets my vote. Beautiful work on all of them,
Gail Griffin
Pat Williams #1 – beautiful!

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!

They are all so pretty I cannot chose a winner. Everyone of them seems to have mastered the free motion quilting techniques you presented. Congratulations to all.

They’re all so amazing! I can’t pick just one. I’m sorry. These are my favorites:
Pat Williams #1 or #2
Peggy Beck
Carol Pitts
Noreen Borys
Joan Liboiron
and mine of course, Debbie Kanavel 🙂
The poinsettia one from Jern Siew is wonderful and creative. I didn’t know we were sharing those yet. I’m still working on mine.

I liked Noreen’s best, but all were wonderful.
Martha Beckman-Garrett
I love them all. All of you did a beautiful job. Jern Siew gets my vote for #1.
Nancy
Pat Williams # 1 is my first choice, but they’re all lovely!
Kerry D
They are all great, but the ones by Pat Williams jumped out at me, particularly the #1, which to be honest was probably only because of the fabric. Amazing personal spin on the quilt.
Geri Prentice
Noreen Borys
Anna
My favourite is Noreen Borys. Her quilting is just stunning
Christine B.
They are all beautiful works of art but my vote goes to Jana Pratt
Marilyn Larkin
Noreen Borys: Not only is the contrast so effective but her stitching is really even, I am very envious of her skills, Noreen must spend so much time doodling to achieve the great result. That being said, everyone’s sunflower is beautiful, such sunny quilts to gaze upon in the midst of your bleak winter
Nicole M
I liked Noreen Borys, though they were all beautiful.

That was hard! But my first place vote goes to Noreen Borys. However, It just barely nosed out Carol Pitts’ wonderful color choices and beautiful quilting.
Cathy W
Noreen Boyer. I could see the quilting detail better. So many beautiful ones
Ann ***smiles***
Pat Williams-#1
Pat
Noreen Borys…loved the colors and the stitching!
Karen
They are all outstanding! I went back and forth on all of them! I liked Noreen Borys.
Marcia
I would have to say Pat Williams. And I believe that #1 & #2 are front and back of the same Quilt. And of the two sides #1 is my fav.
Louise
Great job on all of them but Noreen Borys gets my vote!
Donna
Here is another for Noreen Borys. For some reason, perhaps the darker thread work, it just stands out head and shoulders above any of the others. There are some real beauties here and a great show to look at and I went back several times to make sure, but Noreen’s is my final pick. I really enjoyed the use of so many motifs in different ways.
