2008 Best Contemporary Quilts

In the Contemporary Quilt category, the 1st Place winner was Melanie Rodriguez with this absolutely unbelievable hand applique project. I was really glad that my house quilt was in the other category because the competition in this one was waaay stiff.

2nd Place also went to Melanie for this gorgeous Valentine quilt. I actually told her on the first day of the show that if she took 1st, 2nd & 3rd that she wasn't allowed to enter next year. She laughed... I don't think she realized that I was serious... or that she would take 1st and 2nd this year. I think she shoul dhave also won 3rd. I will show you that quilt in the next post.


3rd Place went to another friend, Bev Hager. Hot Tamale Boxers... you just gotta love it. Bev has a relatively new longarm quilting machine and has been working on her business. What a cool quilt.

Again this is just a sampling of what my Guild can do. Traditional quilts was fun too.
