Yes, there were other quilts at the fair - and oh such lovely ones. It is, of course, always my favorite display at the fair - and I have to walk through at least three or four times. This year I didn't take as many photos, just strolled through and enjoyed the quilts. I did take photos of quilts that I thought certain friends would like.
This was my favorite - I think it should have gotten the Judge's Award and Best of Show - it really was gorgeous. Each duck was different and I love the way the ducks swim along the border - I really admire a quilt with great borders that a lot of thought went into!!!
This one is for Pam - I like the way it makes your eyes move - and maybe even spin a bit. . . and is very very purple!!!
Here you go, Crispy - this one's for you. It reminds me of your work and designs . . .
And this one is for me - all done in 30s fabrics. Aren't those little houses in the border just the cutest thing - again, a well thought out border.
The squares are about an inch and oh so many YoYos. . . It was a great day at the fair. Such talented quilters.
Wonderful quilts, JoAnn. Thank you for sharing your photos. Congratulations on your ribbons! Well deserved.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pictures. I didn't have time to visit the quilt barn. I like the ducks and the yo yo quilt. And the house border is very cute. You picked some good ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the show - almost as good as being there!
ReplyDeleteI have the pattern for that duck quilt...it is just lovely...thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I really like the one with the 30s prints and the yo yos! The duck one is really nice too. ~Lili

Jo, you are absolutely right. I love the purple quilt! But I also love Crispy's quilt, and your quilt as well. I am so happy Don won a first place ribbon on his display. And you won even more ribbons! Congratulations to you and Don! Isn't it fun entering things in the county fair?
ReplyDeleteI am always impressed by the level of quilting diplayed at Lynden's Fair! I have seen a pattern for that yoyo quilt before. I too am attracted to it and have been tempted! I am not so sure about those small blocks though. That is a lot of piecing!
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful, thank you for showing them. I do like the second one.
ReplyDeleteNothing like fair quilts, where the real people come out to play :)
