Sunflower Quilt Show-Vote for YOUR Favorite!

December 19, 2016

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!

    Noreen Borys. I love variegated and she finished beautifully.

  • Darlene Storey

    I vote for the Noreen Borys sunflower quilt

    • 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.

    • Gerri Pymm

      I vote for Jern Siew. Lovely concept for the sun flowers

  • 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.

  • Willeke van der Heijden

    Pat Williams 1 is my favourite, but I like them all! Beautiful job.

  • Cheryl

    Pat Williams No. 1

  • Deborah Johnson #1

  • Linda Arbuckle

    Noreen Borys. All were lovely but hers was my favorite.

  • 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!

  • Lori Campbell

    Pat Williams #1

  • Hard to pick but a favourite but Noreen Borys gets my vote.

  • Karla Shinnick

    Pat Williams #2
    They are ALL beautiful! Congrats to all.

  • jinnie

    Pat Williams No 1

  • My vote is for Noreen Borys. Great job everyone. Hard to pick a favorite.

  • Monica Hendewerk

    Pat Williams #1. Loved all of them. So interesting to see how the color of the thread made such a big difference!!

  • Noreen Borys!

  • 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.

  • Ann Lindquist

    I thought they were all beautiful. Great job to all.

  • Lynne Capehart

    Not an easy choice. I have three favorites: Noreen Borys, Pat Williams #1, and Carol Pitts. Can’t choose between the three.

  • 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!

  • Elise

    I vote for Pat Williams #2. ?

  • Gillian Rapson

    Pat Williams No 1 is my favourite.

  • Robin Wheat

    I like Noreen Boryss’ version.

  • Ginette C Miner

    Noreen Borys is my pick. Nice job Noreen!

  • Marina van Vorst

    Dear Lori,
    my favorite quilt is the one of Noreen Borys.
    Regards from Bonn/Germany

  • 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.

  • Neena

    Noreen Borys, but it was a hard decision. I love the variety of ways everyone completed the Sunflower!

  • Marianne Rooks

    Wonderful quilting! Wow! I chose Barbara Stanbro #2 because the unique layout and color choices complemented her demonstration of the several motifs in your demonstration sample. Her #1 was also well done, and there was so much “eye candy” to enjoy on all the entries!

  • lavonne

    Pat Williams-#2
    Jern Siew
    can’t decide all were wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sherrill Ash

    My favorite was Pat Williams #2. Love the colors and patterns she chose.

  • Denise P

    Noreen Borys is my pick.

  • Kathryn Otto

    All are wonderful, but my eye kept coming back to Noreen Borys sunflower.

  • Jern Siew

  • Terri richards

    Pat Williams # 1 just jumped out at me

  • Suzanne Doonan

    Noreen Borys

    Striking use of contrasting thread.

  • Linda Carlson

    Noreen Borys

  • Kathy Nyquist

    So hard to choose – they are all lovely. My vote is for Noreen Borys with Joan Liboiron’s a close second.

  • Terry Sheldon

    VERY difficult to pick just one. I loved Jern Siew’s quilt, but she didn’t follow guidelines at all, I mean the flowers aren’t even sunflowers! But great quilt. For this project, I pick Debbie Kanavel.

  • Leanne Spicer

    Noreen Borys

  • Nola Belding

    Deborah Johnson-#1

  • Marty

    Noreen Borys

    Noreen Borys is my choice. They all look wonderful!

  • carolynblock

    Colette Hawkins

  • Eve Saxby

    My vote would be for Noreen Borys.

  • Sue H

    All fantastic! I’d go with Roberta Imhoff

    • Susan Konkel

      I too choose Noreen Borys piece because of color and thread. Great job on all pieces.

  • Pat Williams #1

  • Kathryn Hartley

    Pat Williams #2

  • My favorite is Lynn Brazen! Great job! Now I need to finish mine!!

  • Kathy D

    I really like Noreen Borys sunflower – the use of variegated thread makes it look very real! Well done!

  • I like Pat Williams #2 the best. I loved the variety of designs of some of the others, too. Such inspiration!
