g g pieced by

J fi p y completed

t q g q p p ones Award

for Hand-Guided/ Custom Longarm Machine Quilting. A

traditional design which was truly enhanced, rather than

swamped by the longarm quilting. Second place went to

‘Pennsylvania’ by Gwenfai Rees Griffi ths along with the Hand

Quilting award. Being a hand quilter by heart this one was one

for me to learn from! Her hand quilting stitches were so neat

and precise and the traditional design was based on a Orange

Peel with intricate appliqué and a large scalloped edge. Third

place went to ‘Poetry in Motion’ by Helen Brookham, long

arm quilted by Sandy Chandler. Sandie Lush chose this as her

Judge’s Choice.

I’m going to take a break from the quilts and tell you a little

about the show itself. The parking was, as always, organised

and easy. The cafe can be a little busy at lunchtime but
