Faithful Circle guild held their show in Illinois this weekend. I took some pic's, not a lot as my camera ran out of battery.

This guild was the 1st place winner in the "group quilt" category this year in Paducah. They were raffeling off the winning quilt!!

I visited the vendors but all I came home with was a loaf of yummy Zucchini bread from their bake sale!!

Will take me a while to up-load pic's. Bear with me.

One of the things they did was a "Featured Quilter". I'm embarrased to say I cannot remember her name!! She hand pieces and hand quilts. She had about a dozen quilts on display, and my camera ran out of gas :)

First up - 2 quilts from the Featured Quilter

OK - all pic's posted now. Enjoy!!

I'm trying to find out. There were a few others in the show, same pattern, that were being judged. I noticed later in the "craft" area that the pattern was for sale and I *believe* the pattern was made and being sold by one of the members. I think the pattern name was "Jacks" something.

It looks like 9 patches with a triangle next to each to set it off kilter then they're all joined with a 6 sided piece in the center.

The first one's "block" is made of six 9 patches, one on each edge of a large hexagon. There's an equilateral triangle between the 9 patches. That's all!

These are really lovely quilts! Thank you for sharing them with us, wish we could have gone with you to see them close up and personal. :-)

Those are some really unique quilts. I love it when a show has other than standard styled quilts. Thanks for sharing. :)
