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!

Great job, everyone! My vote goes to Noreen Borys. The slight coloration made it a stand out!

All beautiful!!
Charm
Lynn Brazen, the fabric really makes it.
Linda Baker
I vote for Maureen Borys because I think she captured not only the sunflower but the green tinge from the leaves as it looks in real life. Wonderful!
Mary K Finn
All of these are beautiful. I especially like Noreen Boyrs’ work – nice flow and the stitching really pops!
Jan

Noreen Borys is lovely. Great work, everyone!
Carol
Noreen Borys – and I did not peek at other answers first!
Joan Cook
These are all so impressive, it’s hard to decide on just one, but Noreen Borys gets my vote. I loved the thread she used and the way her quilting enhanced the beauty of the flower itself.
Kelly W
My vote goes to Noreen Borys — but everyone of them were lovely!
carol Edge
Pat Williams #1 is my pick but each one is great as i did not do one at all.
Carol W
I love the way that Jern Siew put her piece together.
Marta
I can’t help but wonder about our opinions if all photos were taken by same photographer under same lighting. This is so interesting to me. Some have not been mentioned by name and each one of those has some features that I love…Y’all just can’t do “ugly” !!!!! I didn’t sew one either… working on Christmas gift quilts. Still one to finish up for a 3 yr old.
Di Gross
Love all of them! I vote for Noreen Borys. Thank you!

They r beautiful! Noreen Borys’ quilting & design is my choice for the winner. She did an excellent job w/ not only the actual quilting; but, the balance in the design. Love it!

Joyce in NE
Noreen Borys gets my vote, but all of them are beautiful, and finished!
Dianne
Noreen Boys gets my vote. Great job!
Vicki Mooren
Pat Williams #1. I just love the addition of the green on the outer petals it just makes the sunflower pop. Everyone did an outstanding job. Now I just have to finish mine. Christmas gifts got in the way of finishing it up, but I will get it done.
Victoria Miner
Roberta Imhoff
Christine
Noreen Borys, but I also liked Pat Williams 2 and Jern’s…..good job to all the entries!
Linda Thompson
Jeanette Funk.
Judy Monaghan
It was hard to decide as they were all so fabulous but I vote for Carol Pitts. I loved the strong contrast of the thread against the beautiful green.
Martha
SO hard to choose just one! I narrowed it to four, and decided Noreen Borys stands out because of her thread choices.
sherry
I like Noreen Boyers quilt. The stitching and colors worked well together.
Pat
There are great qualities in so many of these pieces- Congratulations to each of you that finished and submitted! and thank you for sharing!
I liked Pat Williams #2, Mary Ann McGlothlin and Peggy Beck’s projects as the QAL was described. I liked Jern Siew’s and Christine Barnsley #1 for creative use of the pointsettia quilt motif. It was fun to see Roberta Imhoff’s “big picture” use of the project. It was also fun to see how Lynn Brazen used the batik and how some features pop with her color choice. I also liked Barb Stanbro #2 for creative use of the motifs to make a really great sampler that would look good on any wall with it’s architectural feel. Good luck picking one – I know I didn’t help…….
Mary Smary
I like them all but if I were choosing one to keep, it is Pat Williams #1. What lovely work, Pat!
Dione Gardner-Stephen
Many lovely pieces, but the one I could still vividly remember after looking at them all was Pat Williams #1, so this gets my vote as the most amazing. Honourable mention to Peggy Beck. Well done everyone.
Nancy Simmons

Noreen Borys…the contrast between the fabric and the thread colors made this quilt stand out. There were others worthy of a prize, but could only vote for one. Pat Williams #1 was a close second. It was fun to see student’s work.
