Quilt Show: Dolls and Ribbons

The art dolls at the recent Timeless Treasures quilt show were EXTRAORDINARY!  As a matter of fact, the word “doll” does most of them an injustice.  They’re more like fabric sculptures with  A LOT of attitude!

Just look at these two free-standing roosters, made by Vonda Frenes.  DO click on the image for a much better view.

And this doll by Gabriel DiTota.  She has twigs for legs!

Making these dolls looks like tons of fun, but I’m purposely resisting.  (I don’t have room to collect any more supplies!)

Several of my quilts won ribbons at the show.  Below, Mountain Meadow  won a blue ribbon in the Mixed Techniques category.  And After Much Consideration  won third place in the same category.  What fun!

Also, Crotons was awarded an  Honorable Mention in the Original Design Category.

It’s always great to get a little affirmation about your quilt making!

P.S.  I had one more quilt in the show:  When Crotons Cut Loose

    I love your quilts, Ellen! The colors in the croton quilt are so beautiful.

    And yes, I get you on admiring the dolls but “not going there.”

    Thanks, Debby! (Colors never look too great in quilt show venues, but this one is pretty close.)
