ReplyDeleteThird place is the best!
ReplyDeleteHmmm ... nice ... but the third place winner is what drew my eye ...
ReplyDeleteThese quilts are outstanding. Would like to see the others that won and it would be great if you could see these in a close up to see the stitching. All of them are gorgeous. I agree with others that the 3rd place is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteNice photo shop by the way on all of them.
All three of the quilts are fabulous! Personally I really like the second.
ReplyDeleteWow I agree third place is extremely eye catching ... and complex. Love it. Some amazing work on everyones part.
ReplyDeleteAll three are great....would like to see more winners, especially out of 850 entries. Some of the large quilt shows have fewer entries and they give out a lot more awards. I agree, the third place is the best.
ReplyDeleteThis has me excited... When will you have details for the 2012 contest?! 8^)
ReplyDeleteDisappointed that they only showed three of the enteries. Why the big dark secret? Why not publish them all and have the public view them.
ReplyDeleteHad to look hard to find the results.
Very disappointed I couldn't see the top ten winners quilts. Our JoAnn's was out of the pictures by the time I got there.!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Anonymous June 16! why the secret? we all looked forward to this for a long time... Peace..
ReplyDeleteI would like to see a close up of the work of the winners, as I am curious to see how the shading was accomplished on the first quilt. It looks realistic and like a panel from a distance.
ReplyDeleteI am disappointed that more quilts were not posted, and that the names of the quilts and designers were not listed.
Why only show 3 winners and why take so long to show them. These were nice, but are they really the best of 850 entries? I will never enter Jo Ann Fabric competition again. Sorry.
