Last Weeks Winner
We had a beautiful email from last weeks winner! Roberta from up in North Queensland Australia. Now I had to look on the map to find where she lived and here it is....
A note from Roberta "What a wonderful surprise,winning the quilt kit,I just love quilting and I love colour,I nursed and lost my husband 3 years ago-after a battle for 5years Quilting helped me through all the tramur,our home was filled wth colourfil quilts,now I have 5 beautiful coloured fostered grand kids,this has expanded my quilt making they have one each and two hertrage quilts ,they are aborignal,will enclose a photo of the quilts I have designed + an Australian quilt of Australian animals for the youngst baby Bob named for my husband Robert"
And here is an example of one of her own quilts in very Aboriginal inspired colors and fabric.
Ok - I know you want to know who won this week....
Our judge was meant to be Terry from www.quiltsbydesign.com but he has taken ill and will be a guest judge when he gets better...so I have chosen the winner this week. Once again there have been new additions with some fabulous creative use of fabric and color. Just look at these two - in katyopolis's stash, I found Pink Apple, a fresh interpretation from a classic Piece O Cake design and in Bluquilts stash , a colorful Lotus Dreaming using a Strawberry Fields pattern with Urban Chicks and Kaffe Fassett.
But this weeks winner, is a simple interpretation of the classic simple design for KISS. It is called "Windmills in the Rain". Not only did I like the clever use of color but more importantly how the fabric patterns were used to re-define the concept. (The original KISS was Keep it Simple Stupid since you don't need fancy patchwork to create your own idea.) This has changed the idea all together. Which is what I want fabricmatcher to do - insoire you all to challenge color and design with fabrics. Congratulations Isabelle for "Windmills in the rain" I will be in contact to sort out your prize. Keep the entries rolling in!And don't forget to get all your friends to enter... Damian :)
