Judges choice........

The big winner, Helene Knott of Oregon City, OR. She also taught some classes and I took her Machine Quilting as Art class all day Saturday, it was amazing!

And the feature quilter was Kathy McNeil. Here are a few of her pieces. Her newest one is simply breath taking, but not picture taking yet. So although we got to see it, we were asked to no photograph it as it has not made the rounds of shows yet. If you have the opportunity to see her work, don't pass it up.

Sew many beautiful pieces
