Northwest Quilters (NWQ) puts on am un-juried show every
year during spring-break in Portland Oregon. The show is held at PSU Smith Center.
Here are some pictures from this year's show but there are many, many more quilts
than shown.
As you enter the main viewing area this is what you see.
Quilts..quilts.. and more quilts.
(This is my first experience with our new digital camera. I took these pictures
3/26 and am posting them 3/27. Cool...)
The featured quilter this year was Katie Wolfe (sorry if
I spelled that wrong). These are some of the quilts that Katie has finished during
her quilting career.
You didn't think this was going to be an unbiased page
did you? This is my Frog quilt.
These are a few of the challenge quilts.
Threadhead Barb's is that in the center and Cathy's is on the right. I have a closeup of Cathy's wallhanging.
All challenge participants were given a FQ of the challenge fabric (that in the
center of Cathy's quilt). In secret each created a quilt using that fabric.
Miscellaneous quilts.
My guess is that this quilt will win the viewer's
selection 'Best of Show'. I can't credit the quilter right now (anyone have that
info for me?) but I know she did a beautiful job. This quilt is hand-quilted with
the 'stab' method!!.
Here are quilters hard at work on next year's raffle
quilt.
Many Threadheads entered their mystery quilts, 12
entrants in all. Those on the far wall belong to (left to right, top to bottom)
Gale, Carol, Arden and Janice.
These were made by Nedra, Barb, Susan K. and Sue A.
And these belong to Marje, Cathy, Marilyn and Sue F.
Barb went shopping at the vendor mall and only bought
this one little bag full of goodies. Yeah...right...
