State Fair Winner recognized

This year, we sponsored 3rd place winners at the Iowa State Fair, recognizing that third place quilts in large categories are still really awesome. Emily Vardeman came in yesterday with the Gift Certificate she won. Here is her quilt, 3rd place in the large quilt category.
This was a block of the month quilt designed by Leila Gardunia. The inspiration for the design is the quilt blocks that adorn the Jacobson Building on the Iowa State Fair grounds. Isn't this fantastic? You can read more about the designer at sewnbyleila.blogspot

This is the quilter, Emily V. on the left with friend Jessie Z, both members of the Des Moines Modern Quilt Guild.  Nice to meet you, Emily. Thanks for coming in.
