#1 - FIRST PLACE :thumbup:

"This is hand pieced using the freezer method while waiting for the kids to finish their various activities since the beginning of the year, hence the name "Take me home". I machine quilted it on my Janome. It is a pattern from Australian Quilter's Companion magazine called "Compass Colours" by Dawn Toomey. The wallhanging measures 34" square.

"The wall hanging is 26"x 30 1/2", and is hand quilted, I call it Love Grows in my head. :-) I hope the pictures show up ok, it's hard to catch the design. The design is something I created based on what I wanted to include in the wall hanging. In the center is a cross with the words "Love Is" inside, and I put the qualities of love surrounding it. Inside the cross I put John 15:13 and a vine that is growing that blooms up towards the top. I put two birds on the top each holding a small banner. On the left side the banner says "love one another" and on the right side "1 Cor. 13". The words on the outside are patient, kind, hopeful, faithful, and enduring. Bordering the words I put a vine with leaves. On the bottom of the quilt is a vine that is growing flowers.

"Sentimental Valentine": This is hand-pieced and hand-quilted; finished size 30" X 36".

I saw a small (2"X 4") advertisement for quilt patterns in the back of a Quilt Magazine (do not remember which one) that featured this design about 10 years ago; I saved the ad and filed it away for future use. Several years later, I ran across the ad again and decided I really liked the design in the ad. I called the number associated with the ad and got a 'discontinued' recording. I then wrote a letter to the address mentioned in the ad and it came back 'unforwarded'. At this point, it became a 'challenge'. I took the ad and enlarged the diagram until I could make out the block pattern and kept enlarging it until I got it to a 6" square. Then I put a pencil to it to figure out the color scheme and how much of everything I needed. I used mostly remnants to make the top, but the backing and lace were purchased specifically for the wallhanging. The only resource I have for the design is Lubisco Studios in New Jersey. The pattern and plastic templates were priced at a bargain at $6....which may expalin why they were not doing business anymore.

"I did the wall hanging for my 15 year old daughter when she received her first Les Paul electric guitar. The design is original and modeled after her guitar. The pick up bars are made from soda cans. The fret inlays are from wall paper scraps. The piece was machine pieced and machine quilted.
