I certainly never expected to get the phone call from Grosvenor Shows last week saying I had won 'Best in Show' at the Scottish Quilt Championships at Ingliston, Edinburgh. I have seen so many beautiful quilts out there this year that I really thought I was only supporting my local show, I never expected to win but still wanted my work to be seen. I only had time to make this one small quilt in the past year, you can read about it here in this post,
'Subtle Differences'!
Winning at this show meant that I kept my title of Scottish Quilt Champion for another year. Thank you to Grosvenor Shows for your great organisational skills and also to
David Drummond, Sewing Machines and
Kaleidoscope Books and Quilting Fabrics for sponsoring my award at the show again this year, it's all greatly appreciated by many.
It is all great but I also feel a little guilty for winning again, there was a time when I would have said I wasn't at all competitive.
There were lots of other worthy winners in the show....in no particular order here are some of the quilts that caught my eye, if you see one of your quilts with out your name attached drop me a line and I'll add your name to it.....

My home is feeling a little bit bare just now. I had thirteen quilts away from home last week, this one in Edinburgh, two at the Textile Towerhouse in Hawick and ten of my earlier quilts have gone away on tour with Grosvenor Shows for six months, starting with Malvern Autumn Quilt Show and then all of the Spring Quilt Shows next year. Subtle Differences looks very well here in my hall for a while!
Your work is out of the World! Love it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kay! Subtle Differences is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful show all around - thanks for taking me along. It's always nice to see a quilt show & not have tired feet after!
Fandabedozie!
ReplyDeleteWell done Kay!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I saw your quilt at the Festival of Quilts in August so know how impressive it is.
ReplyDeleteYou have three photos of a group of small quilts which were made as the result of a fabric exchange between the Lippetal Quilters in Germany and Gone to Pieces Quilt Group in the UK rather than Jenny Rolfe. It was good to see them as we sent them off on their travels around the UK over 6 months ago!
Thank you Gloria, I'll remove the cation and hopefully replace it with a correct version....
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kay.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you took such nice photos of them - I have sent the link to your blog to friends and Gone to Pieces members who took part in the exchange..
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing photos of the show. You had some great competition.
