I received an honorable mention for my red and white applique quilt - the competition was tough. But, as my friend Susan pointed out, it was nice of them to match the ribbon to my quilt.
My friends and I met up at lunchtime to compare notes. The show was poorly attended - and unless it picked up today and tomorrow we doubt there'll be a show next year. Someone else said that the Lancaster Show has been discontinued. It's depressing.
I took a bunch of pictures of quilts I liked. This one by Susan Shure took 2nd place applique.
They had an exhibit of quilts done by the Brownstone quilt guild for their 25th anniversary. Quilts had to include 25 items. Here's Barb's quilt - Little Pink Houses.
And here's another I especially liked by Maureen (I can't read the last name).
Here's Therese standing in front of one of her favorites. We love Our Lady of Guadeloupe.
I'll post more over the next few days.

Gosh that's too bad that the show was so poorly attended. I know that every show in ND does very well, even the ones in very small towns.

I think it deserved first too. I love it how his head is on the fabric.
great post, mary!
Your Red & White deserved a higher ribbon - and Jill's quilt is one of my favorite all time quilts.
Looking forward to more pictures and comments.

isn't it a shame when that happens? quilting shows are so inspiring... they should take schools there, it's an art that is so important on so many levels..
And your quilt is gorgeous!
OMG your applique quilt is beautiful and it really needs a blue ribbon. I love the white against the red background.
I must say that the red & white quilt is spectacular!
I stumbled upon your red and white quilt after doing a google image search- it is absolutely stunning and I'm not sure how it didn't win! Quite one of the most beautiful and original quilts I've ever seen, and hugely inspirational.
