I'm having issues with blogger on this post, so things are running together....Last weekend was our annual Girls Getaway to the Gorge. It was 4 days all about friendship, quilting, food and wine. We spent 3 nights at the Gorge in OR, and during the days we enjoyed the Columbia River Quilt Show at Stevenson Fair grounds. I taught an applique class and Muriel taught a table runner class. Paula and Norma took classes and volunteered at the show. As usual, you can click on the photos for more details. It was a fabulous group of quilts that hung in this judged show, I tried to get all the ribbon winners, sorry if I missed some!

Mary Arnold of Vancouver, WA Best of Show.....no kidding!
All hand quilted. This has been a work in progress for many years, and I'm glad the quilter showed this piece. I spent some time enjoying this piece. Excellent choices of quilting motifs.
I loved this one too. The quilting design was excellent for the piecing. Very well done.

Paula's beautiful Churn Dash.
Nancy Goldsworthy from 9 Patch Quilting.
Norma's beautiful quilt.
I thought this stack and whack was fabulous. The quilting on the borders was very interesting. A great choice of design.
The Columbia Gorge Quilters raised just over $1000 on this quilt. The monies will be split up between the local hospitals to help fund mammograms for local women. It is a beautiful quilt and it was a guild member who won this.
I thought this Jacobs Ladder was very well done. Their piecing was wonderful on this quilt. One of my favorites of this show.

What a wonderful treat to see the photos of ther quilts from the show. I think I would have studied the Amish style one for awhile too. There were a lot of beauties in this group.
What a high standard in the quilts you've shown. This must be a very gifted group. Congratulations to all concerned and thanks for showing.
