As we mentioned in our QuiltCon recap, there was so much to see and do last weekend at the conference. The vendor booths, lectures, workshops and the quilts. Oh the quilts! Quilts from all over were entered into the juried show and winners were displayed during the conference. Each quilt was inspiring and breath taking. We could have spent hours perusing the quilts! We want to take a minute to congratulate the winners. The quilts below were 1st place winners in each category. For more winner photos, head to our Flickr page!

Photos great but where is your is blunt tip, curved thread snips from Havel.for the Blitz?
I copied the wrong thing for answer for the Blitz–your answer for binding
What is Kimberly's favorite way to quickly and simply press a binding?
If this is modern quilting, Im out! Whoever chose best in the bunch must be blind!
