Lots of great quilts at Courtenay Fair. Most, in fact, all of them, except for one, were machine quilted. Kind cheating, I say. Nothing like a hand quilted piece. This little Pineapple mini wall quilt was voted as best in its class. Machine Quilted, but absolutely perfect paper piecing.
THis Civil War Reproduction Quilt is the only quilt in the shaw hand quilted. I think it is wonderful. It received 1st place in a special category.
Best Use of Colour in Show....all batiks.
Mariner's Compass Quilt. Best Overall.
Landscape wall quilt. Best in Class.
Native Art Mixed Media. Best in category. Beautiful quilt. Quite unique.
Strip pieced, mixed media levels. 1st place.
Christmas in the Country queen sized quilt. Has pigs on it. Not sure what pigs have to do with Christmas.........but really nice colour scheme.
Kitties and Chickens. Kind of busy, for me, but kind of cool. Placed 1st in its category.
1st Place over all in Unusual Quilts Category. The top is quite fuzzy from the machine quilting, and incorporates wool.
Blazing Star. Unusual. Honourable Mention
Hot Batik Wall quilt. Use of metallics. Strips and Curved seams.
Piano Keys and Simple Crosses. Nice use of colour. 
Log Cabin Crows. 1st place. Great log cabin strip pieced quilt. Love the crows. Kind of weird. But really neat.
Eagle in Flight.
Spawning Salmon. Salmon appliques are covered with netting, as if the fish are being pulled up into a Gill Net. Great idea.
Strips and curved wall quilt. Lots of detail in a two tone facade. ALl machine quilted. I think it would have been nicer if it was hand done.
