Wedding Day Visit

I think this is the first time this has ever happened and I thought it was blog worthy . . .

One of our customers, Kathi Varner, got married today.  She brought her family and BFF (and new husband) to the quilt shop to see her Hidden Treasures quilt entry after the wedding so I had to take their picture.  Hubby was outside at the time of the photo  so he's not in it but that's her quilt behind the group.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Hidden Treasures Winners

It was really hard to choose because the entries are so good but here are the Hidden Treasures winners:
The WOW Award goes to Sally Thompson for her awesome inspiration, workmanship and concept.
The dresses are reproduced from her Mom's fashion design drawings from the 1940's
The Girlie Girl Award goes to Valerie Lamb for her Pretty in Pink - great workmanship
The Whimsy Award goes to Carol Powell for her Dinosaurs - too cute!
The Contemporary Design Award goes to Crisann Becker for her EKG - no cityscape - no stock market review - oh well, it's great.

We also gave four Attagirl Awards to:
Maria Noell
Ginger Walter
Sue Hoffmann
Gaylene Morlock

Great job everyone and thanks!

Hidden Treasures Quilt Challenge

We have our Hidden Treasures Challenge Quilts on display right now.  We had 33 entries and they are fabulous.  If you don't know about our challenge, here's how it works.

• During June and July customers were invited to purchase a brown paper bag with 1 yard of Hidden Treasures fabric in it.
• Each participant then had until September 29 to make something beautiful.  They could add any fabric they wanted to but we asked that they use 1/2 yard of the HT fabric.
• The Quilter's Dream staff is judging them based on creativity, workmanship, overall appeal, etc.  The judging is very difficult as all of the projects are so good.

I'm posting some photos but you really need to see them in person to appreciate them.  Prizes will be awarded next week.  I've also posted a photo that shows the different Hidden Treasures fabric.  Thank you to everyone who participated.
