(Ask me about how I wasted my whole week on two supposed tutoring deals that both fell through - one from nepotism, and the other from folks being completely deluded about how much my time is worth! Sheesh! COMPLETE waste of my time, and the house is a shambles as a result! Well heck - something had to go, and it wasn't going to be my studio time! What were you thinking!?!?!?)
Anyway - pictures from VQF 2005!!! These are some of my faves from among the competitor's submissions:
This one is called "Move over Coco" by the Friday Morning group of Cos Cob, CT. Each artist made a real purse for this piece. Isn't it FUN!?!?
This is "Joy 16" by Stephanie Nordlin or Poplar Grove, Illinois. I loved this piece for the great colors and changes in orientation. It *almost* got my best in show, but I wanted to go with something that would get more notice. Sort of like why I didn't vote for Kucinich in 2004...
This is by our very own Marilyn J Davis of Plainfield, VT! She calls it "Reflections" and this is the piece that was in the Times/Argus for all to see! Hurray Marilyn!!!
This got my Viewer's Choice award! Called "Luna Eclipse," by Betsy Abbot of Andover, MA. She worked on this in a class with the mind-bogglingly, brilliantly tedious, Ruth McDowell in 2004. This was just so *active* after so many staid pieces. VERY dynamic work that just plain sucked both I and my husband Kevin in. 
I love this piece - called "Sparklers" by Sandra Gregg of Yarmouth Port, Mass. What interesting shapes!!! Seems pretty appropriate to post this weekend, too! Happy 4th all!

Of these, Sparklers is my favorite followed by Joy. Did you have an entry in the show?
No entries from me; in fact, this was my first time even attending the show!
In fact, the Weird Quilt Challenge is going to be my first entry ever - if I can get from the paper to the fabric in the next 11 days! Yikes!
