This was so clever. The maker did a rendition of Whistler's Mother in postage stamp sized squares.

There were several quilts with sashiko style embroidery quilting on them. All very well done

I thought this quilt was a fabulous way to use scraps.

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the whole quilt. The tag indicated these were all hand embroidered blocks from photos the maker either took herself or had found. It took 1st place people's choice for wallhangings. All hand quilted too. Here is onel close ups of the blocks. I will post more in the following replies

This quilt was very intriguing and clever. The maker did classic Lady of the Lake blocks then used a broderie perse technique and appliqued various lady cut outs from fabric on it.

I was completely enamored with this wall hanging called Exotic Flowers. All hand turned applique and gorgeous sashiko. The maker said it was a BOM and she executed it perfectly. Yummy! This took 2nd place People's choice for wallhangings

A mini modern wholecloth.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]559383[/ATTACH]

First place people's choice was a whole cloth that was all hand done. My full shot of it didn't come out very well but here is a close up. The maker wrote that this was to be her last quilt due to suffering a stroke and multiple health problems. I was happy she took first place People's choice.
