Washington County Fair Winners

Thanks to all those guild members who entered quilts in the 2011 Washington County Fair held in late August, including Ann Roberts, LoVina Payton, Kate Allen, Carla Gay, Katha Carter, and Adele Atha.  Hopefully these quilts have inspired a fair-goer to consider the creative world of quilting that we all enjoy so much!  Congratulations to the following members for being recognized with special awards:

      Carla Gay – Grand Champion/Best of Show

      Carla Gay – Champion for Bed Quilts – Machine Quilted

      Katha Carter – Champion for Wall Hangings

      Katha Carter – Champion for Quilt Tops, Quilt Blocks & Novelty

      Katha Carter – Champion for Lap Quilts and Throws

      Katha Carter – Judge’s Choice

      Kate Allen – Best Applique by Hand

      Katha Carter – Best Use of Color

      Adele Atha (quilted by Karen Kielmeyer) – Best Machine Quilting

      Thanks to Sager Creek Quilts and Rabbit’s Lair for sponsoring many of the special quilting awards.  Q.U.I.L.T. gave two $25 prizes for “Best Applique by Machine” which went to Jenny Johnson and “Best Use of Color” which was awarded to Katha Carter.

      If you didn’t enter this year (and you live in Washington County), be sure to watch for the Fair dates in 2012!
