3rd Place Winner
Joanne Miller
Quilt Name: Garden Club
My husband saw this pattern made up and
immediately bought the patterns and fabric for my Christmas
2006. I started it on the 26th by cutting and appliquéing
with machine embroidery. I worked 5 hours daily until done
on 5/8/2007. Batting is too heavy but I hand quilted it
anyway.

Place Winner Becky Stowers
Quilt Name: Lonestar
(This quilt also was the First Place Winner for Viewers'
Choice category.)
I
purchased these fabrics several years ago with no pattern in mind.
Then suddenly it came to me. I am very happy with the way it turned
out. All the quilting is freehand.

2nd Place Winner Joanne Miller
Quilt Name: Underground Railroad
I
chose to make my Underground Railroad in Christmas prints
rather than Civil War prints. I like to do hand quilting;
thus it took quite a while to complete. The story of these
quilt blocks is found on the back of this wall hanging which
hangs on the wall above my table.

Challenge Quilt - "Pieces of Christmas Joy"
1st Place Winner Nancy Pardue
Quilt Name: Eleven Patch Christmas Tree
I was
traveling through Iowa and stopped at an Antique Mall where
I saw a collection of old, badly worn quilt pieces. As I
looked through them I found a pieced "Red Star" and many 1/2
pieced hexagons with green borders. Laying them out I said,
"Here is my piece of Christmas Joy". I used all eleven
pieces to make this quilt. I embellished the tree with
candles, yo-yos, and buttons. Eleven Patch Christmas Tree
won 1st place at the 2009 Putnam County Fair.
