2012 Charlotte Quilt Show

 This past weekend, the Charlotte Quilter's Guild held its yearly (well, mostly yearly) quilt show...over 250 quilts, about 40 vendors, lots of happy attendees, and lots of fun.

This year's show was judged by Kathy Sullivan and Laura Patridge --- and Fiber Art Option members did pretty well (including a "Best of Show")...here are some of the ribbon highlights:

Any Woman...Every Woman by Debbie Langsam  (image on quilt adapted from a photo by Arindam Bhattacharya) (1st Place:  Pictorial Quilt;  Honorable Mention for Artistic Merit from Mint Hill Arts,  Small Quilt Best of Show)
