Nancy Patterson (left) and Teresa Pino of Hernando took first place in the
Quilt category and won Best of Show for "Feathers".  Patterson
pieced the quilt, while Pino used hand-guided machine quilting to complete it.

"Just Peachie" was done by Phyllis Tayor and received third place in the Quilt Category.

category.  Owen hand-dyed fabrics to create this modern
