Winners and WooHoo!

Having a great time at FESTIVAL OF QUILTS 2019 but, oh, my poor feet! I am sure they are making these halls bigger every day, and the Modern Category of the competition is about as far away from my OAKSHOTT base as it is possible to get while still being in the same county.

A gentle visitor to the OAKSHOTT stand this afternoon

I did photograph some winners today though:

MODERN winner 'Fractured Circles' by Robyn Fahy

My Favourite in the MODERN category (and a Judge's Choice)
this is a detail from 'Triangle Colour Study III' by
Nicholas Ball

WOOHOO: I got a Highly Commended for 'Negative Space'

ART QUILT Winner 'Vertex' by Betty Busby

Enjoying the scenery (if not the weather!)

Having said that, we had some lovely sunshine on the way back to our peaceful apartment in Paisley after the show today. All the better for admiring the amazing architecture of Glasgow - really must come back here as a tourist sometime soon. Anyway, I digress: without further ado, here are the winners from the Themed Quilts (Colour of the Isles) category and lower down the Art category.

Themed GOLD: 'Rackwick I' by Sheena J. Norquay - makes me wish I had time to go and see it!

Themed: SILVER 'Machair Magic' by Jane Appelbee

Themed: BRONZE: 'Colour Blindness' by Lauren Connor (sorry - terrible photo, I will try and get a better on tomorrow!)

Art GOLD: 'Dance Crazy' by Patricia MacIndoe - A relatively small quilt but lovely use of colour and an interesting combination of machine and hand quilting

Art SILVER: 'Lava Flow; by AitchBee  - that'll be me then!

Art BRONZE: 'Frosty Morn' by Anne Haughs - very subtle, this photo doesn't do it justice, lovely three dimensional leaves on it too
