First Place

"There's a Rabbit in the Flowerbed"
by Samantha Nixon
Could not have been prouder, showing off Sam's masterpiece
Which Won First Place (!!!!!)
Isn't it magnificent?!
My friends were blown away...
The flowers are just over one inch in diameter
which completely baffles me
(how DID she DO it?)

CONGRATULATIONS, Sam!

Thought you might like to see some of the others in the competition:
This one is pretty nice, I must say..
Runner Up in the Traditional Category

And a Fairy Bed (!)

very traditional

This one is beautiful. The bed was also painted.
The work in this quilt is exquisite...
2nd Place in the Traditional Category
...but not like our Sam....

These two are cute - above (2nd Place Handmade)
and below (Runner Up Handmade)
The entire Quilt Show was overwhelming. I will post some photos of the larger quilts as time goes on. It astounds me the work that goes into these pieces of art... and the thought and attention to detail that goes into each one.
Sam, You Are Awesome! Congratulations again, for your beautiful WIN!!!!
