Washington State by Wendy Stone - 1st Place

My theme was the natural beauty of Washington State - no commercial images such as lattes or computers! All county names have been quilted into the quilt. A picture of all who worked on my quilt is on the back, along with my reaction when I saw my quilt for the first time since the Round Robin began.

Magical Fish by Muriel (Mick) Dunn - 2nd Place
This quilt was my biggest challenge. I was asked to make a fish quilt. I said "NO PROBLEM". What a joke. I worked for four months. I made fish then through it away. I found some patterns then adapted them. This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for my friend Pat Smith with her advise and support.

Puzzle Perfect by Cathy Katte - 3rd Place tie
Our son has been in Japan for 2 years and I wanted to make him a remembrance quilt of his time there. The jagged diamond design resembles the bark of the hardy pine tree which in Japan symbolizes perseverance and good fortune. The Japanese puzzle design is fashioned after the pine bark design.

Dresden Plate - 1940's by Mary Ann Johnson - 3rd Place tie
The southwestern colors, spotted by my husband, were selected in honor of the wedding locale chosen by our son and fiancée.  The blocks, chosen from Philomena Wiechec's Celtic designs, are hand appliquéd.  The setting was selected so that there would be room for Joyce Trees' artistic free motion machine quilting.  Hand and machine pieced, machine quilted.

Twisted Ribbons by Roxanne Carter - HM
I saw the retaining wall that is being built going down to Tacoma and dreamed this design one night. I loved being able to have the paper foundation and regular piecing mixed.
