Opening night was a great success despite the appalling weather that we had on Friday. The forecast was to have a months rain in a day. The quilters still came and were treated to a wonderful talk from Leannne Beasley, who is well known for her Leanne's House patterns and her Vingette magazine.

I can see that I am looking a lot more tired and weary by the end of the show when this photo was taken. Who won 1st Viewers Choice? Mariya Waters, of course. I forgot to take a photo of her quilt but the photos of all the awards and winners should be on the Waverley Patchworkers site soon.
Our wonderful raffle quilt called A William Morris Garden was won by an active member of the club, so that was nice for a change and good to see her collect her prize.

Linda your quilts are lovely!
Congratulations on your awards.
Thank you Barbara, prizes are hard to get and certainly enjoyable when you get them.
Congratulations, Linda! Well done.
I'd love to see some close up photographs of your quilts.

Thanks Kristina, I am just about to leave on a couple of teaching trips but I am free for a few weeks after that so I will be sure to post some close-ups when I am home.
I went to the show on Saturday with two friends, and we were absolutely blown away by the quality of the quilts on show. My friends commented that the quilts were far superior to the ones at the A/asian Quilt convention! I asked if you were there, but apparently you'd been and gone by the time I got there (11 am).
I am sorry that I missed you Gina. I was not there on saturday because of a previous appointment. We do have a lot of wonderful quilters at waverley.
Hi Linda! Wow I've been away for a couple of weeks and return to the fabulous news of your quilt show awards - congratulations!
Both pieces are lovely - I'm especially fond of "Naturally Crazy" and will poke around your site to see if there's a bit more info and more images of it! hugs from Port Townsend, fcf
Welcome back Frances, I am going away for a week and will post some more photos and get my website updated when I get back.
