This quilt is an original design which uses the techniques of dye painting, fabric manipulation and collage style appliqué. The dimensional hat, saddle and rope add an element of realistic interest to the overall design.

First Place - Traditional Large Mixed
Tsumani
Gay Joyner
Big Bear Lake, CA

This pattern caught my eye as I like piecing and appliqué work. I used all scraps - there are 2000 one-and-half inch triangles. I love bright colors. This yellow was just my cup of tea.

Mini appliqué blocks and swag border in red, green, gold and blue. Inspired by the red and green appliqué tradition of the 19th century using reproduction fabric by RJR.
  

First Place - Miniature
A Miniature Rose Garden for Jessie
Martha A Nordstrand
San Diego, CA

This quilt is in memory of Jessie Harrison, who was an artist and a friend. The tiny roses are based on miniature rose varieties. She loved flowers and she loved birds.

Twenty-five different fabrics merge to form an image of transparent woven ribbons. This is the colorful version of my original scrappy pattern Y2K.

First Place - Innovative Wall appliqué
Tropical Simplicity
BJ Titus
Coatesville, PA

I was fascinated with the bird of paradise tropical plant. I purchased an ailing one and was determined to rejuvenate it. I have been rewarded with much foliage but no blossoms. This quilt represents the blossoms my plant has been unable to produce.
