This young lady is Sherry Reynolds. She won a first place blue ribbon for her "Christmas All Around" quilt. I couldn't get a full picture of it as there were so many people oohing and aahing at it. Sherry is such a sweet and humble gal and was really taken aback by all the attention. Hopefully if you enlarge the picture you can see some of the extraordinary detail and workmanship she put into this work of art. I chatted with her for a few minutes and found out that she did the design, the piecing and the quilting all on her own. Plus she has been quilting for only five years!!!!! Amazing!!!!! It should have won best in show (no offense to the person who did).
As always, lots of vendors and lots of shoppers.
Below are pictures of some of the many, many quilts that were displayed. I noticed that there was quite a bit of applique which seems to be a trend. I like the more traditional quilt designs rather than the "art quilts" but to each his own. Regardless of the style, the workmanship is amazing. Can you guess my favorite from the following pictures?

Sherry: You must be good on the computer to find my little blog! Again, your quilt was amazing and I wish I could have gotten a better picture of it. Let me know when you are showing again in the Denver/Cheyenne area. I have family in Denver and will be there next spring. I'd love to take in more shows in that area and see more of your wonderful quilts.
Congratulations again!
Jean
