Challenge Quilts

The Challenge for the Quilt Show was to make a small wall hanging inspired from a Fairy Tale or Nursery Rhyme. I haven't shown you all of the Challenge entries so thought I would today. As before I haven't reduced them much so you can click on them to see the details. (The quotes are from each quilt's label, written by the quilter.)

'Dancing with the Nursery Rhyme Stars' By Sheila Ujdur. Won 2nd place in the Silver Section. "From the Cliff Richard song 'Dancing Shoes' from the movie 'Summer Holiday'. Not all nursery rhymes end in tears."

'Jack Climbing the Bean Stalk' By Leeann Hansen (Me!)

'Forgiveness' by Elizabeth Percy. "Inspired by the modern Fairy Tale 'Button Thief' by Latasha Randall."

'Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat' by Lynda Parker. "The cat fancies the Queen's jewelry rather than the little mouse under her chair."

"I Had a Little Nut Tree' by Tess Harris. "Decided this was a simple applique theme and 'birds in the air'."
