VENDORS' CHOICE
The show vendors were invited to select their favorite quilts in several categories, from the non-judged entries. With so many exciting quilts to choose from, there was only one quilt that received more than one vote! Joan Jasper's wallhanging, “Star Time”, received the Vendors' Choice award for Most Innovative entry.
Congratulations to all of the ribbon winners, and to everyone who entered quilts in the show. Without all these wonderful quilts, we wouldn't have had a show!
UFO CHALLENGE
New at our 2006 show was the UFO Challenge. Members were challenged to complete one or more UFOs (UnFinished Objects). 11 UFOs were finished in time for the show! Challenge winners were:
- Most deviation from the original plan: “Pigs at Sea” by Bridget Wilson
- Oldest UFO by multiple makers: “Somewhere in a Garden” by Moria Wikstrom-Fischer
- Most UFOs: “Cottage Chic Bedspread” and “Autumn Harmony” by Ann Tumolo
- Oldest UFO by a single maker: “The First Step ” by Heidel Gerhard
