Her colour choice was perfect…loved it!

Even the past President agreed with me…and gave her a bonnet (dang cute!!)

P1260361

Yup…she’s a winner in my books too!!

P1260362

And Alice’s wonderful quilt was just so happy that she got TWO awards!!  Love the potted plant border!!  Every gardener would love this quilt!!

P1260363P1260365

How sweet is this yo-yo table cloth!! 

P1260367

The Quilter used squares from a panel…and then decorated it with rows of yo-yos!!  PERFECT!!

P1260368

Now that was a good quilt to end the show with!!  Wasn’t this show the best!!…and NO that was not a question!!  It really was the best!!

Thank you Hemet/San Jacinto Valley Quilters…you really know how to put on a good show…but then you have had 34 years of practice!!  I would say that you have it down to a fine art!  What I really liked and appreciated was how kind, thoughtful, friendly and FUN all of the quilters were!!  Even in the Boutique where it was a bit of a mad house…(you know quilters, when you throw them a good deal and we all dive at it!! Shark attack!!  heehee…all great fun!!)  And that’s how the Valley Quilters approached it…with FUN!! 

SEW…I predict that The Clubhouse Quilters will be back for Hemet’s 35th Annual Valley Quilt Show next year…and this shark…errr I mean quilter… can’t wait…only 363 more sleeps!!

I’ve had several requests to show my LOOT…blogger is having a fit with all of these pictures…if I add more I’m sure Blogland will explode!!  I will send out my loot pictures separately…Fingers crossed that these pictures will all post!

Have a wicked Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  1. Lots of wonderful quilts and I was surprised to see Cheri's quilt and tagged wrong? The quilt that says A is for apple is a cheri saffiote design that was done for a BOM and she just redid the pattern for sale.

  2. So many great quilts! My favorites are the Bunny Hill snowmen and the yoyo table topper with preprint panels. So clever. This really does look like the best show ever! Can't wait until you get back there next time. Seriously, of all the shows you've posted, this is my favorite.

  7. Loved the show. Sure wish it was closer to me. Most shows nowadays have so many modern quilts and while I can appreciate them for their work and beauty, I much prefer the traditional....especially applique!

  8. I love the judges choice Quilts. Especially because her guild day is the second Tuesday of the month as is mine and that I'm guess she may be Canadian with la petite group meeting on the first Monday. Her details are great.

    Great photos. Thanks again Paulette.
