LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild thanks the community for its participation and attendance at the 16th annual Falling Leaves Quilt Show held in Lewis Hall at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Lakeport on Oct. 7 and 8.
An estimated 800 people attended the show.
Viewers admired row after row of quilts ranging from art quilts showing nature or a picture, innovative quilts, traditional and modern quilts, baby quilts, wearable items and miniature pieces.
Attendees voted for their favorite quilt. The winner of the Viewer’s Choice was awarded to Catherine Stone for her quilt, “Violet.”
Each year local VIP judges select their favorites, quilts “that you would like to go home with.” Gordon Haggett, land surveyor county of Lake, chose Julie Scribner’s “Van G’ode: Wind, Sun & Stars” for its “warm colors of day blended with the coolness of night.”
Linda Miller of Linda’s Tips ‘n Toes chose Shirley Liskey’s “Hopscotch” which reminded Miller of the quilts made for the missionaries at her church as a young girl.
“Yellowphants” by Marj Sweeney was Dave Faries of the Lake County Record-Bee’s choice because “the colors pop and the elephants are both whimsical.”
Lynne Bruner, CPA, liked Catherine Stone’s “Violet” for the “fabulous color shading.”
Being prior military, Todd Williams from Prime Time Construction chose Judy Oliver’s “Congratulations Jordan” with it’s subtle use of military fabric and it’s fall colors.
The guild thanked the VIP judges for taking the time to visit the show and share their thoughts and memories for the quilts they chose.
