Fanfare 2019--Part 2

Here are more wonderful quilts from the Heritage Quilters of Huntsville 2019 Quilt Show.

Find the first post here: Part 1

Special Exhibit of Halo Star Medallion quilts made by members of the Sunday Sew and Sews, a monthly group who meet for skill-building and friendship. These quilts were not part of the judged show. The pattern was the 2017 Block of the Month for www.thequiltshow.com and was designed by the late Sue Garman:

Circa 2016, a favorite small quilt, I overdid the border quilting--fortunately, I have gotten much better at that now:


There were 225 quilts in the judged show so these two posts only scratch the surface. Congratulations to all who were brave enough to enter and especially to those who received a ribbon in tough competition.

I will end with Best of Show. This was the 2011 Block of the Month quilt for www.thequiltshow.com. I started it in January 2011 and recently finished it. Designed by my friend, the late Sue Garman, working on this quilt after her death helped me grieve for her. She was a treasure. The wonderful quilting added the perfect touch to this special quilt--that was done by Lois Kindley, a local longarm quilter.

Ruffled Roses by Barbara Black, Best of Show:

Let's quilt.

  1. Thanks for sharing the show with us. The Sew and Sews did a super job. Love the changeout of the Delectable Mountains. We TQS 2017 BOM participants all wanted to move to Huntsville, remember?
