other entries

first apologies as I had ‘thought’ I had taken more photos of quilts on the film camera and now the film is developed I find I have not so many, very irritating and will teach me not to try taking photos when I am blethering with other quilters, so I do not have any photos of other group entries, I only have 2 photos of the individual entries and only 2 photos of the log cabin entries,
the competition Far and Away was in three categories, group, individual and schools, all categories were only open to people residing in Scotland,
Far and Away, individual, I do not have a photo of the winning quilt,
So Far and Yet So Near by Fiona Hamilton, Highly Commended, I liked this quilt more than the winner except for the Manhattan skyline, I understand this was to depict the Far and Away but for me it spoilt it, just my honest opinion,
Island Heritage by Alison Murray, Highly Commended, I love the Celtic cross on this quilt but I am unsure about the background, on the islands due to a lack of trees anything with height mostly has a backdrop of sky (that thing above us not the island), Alison did another quilt which was a peat stack and each peat had the name of an island on it, unfortunately it was hard to see properly due to the poor lighting and darkness of the quilt,
Far and Away, schools, there was only one entry,
Applegrove Primary School, Forres, Moray, the children have drawn an island postcard on fabric, then they have been displayed on a blue water and sky background, some of the drawing is delicate and does not show up in the photo very well, I did not write down the title so apologise to Applegrove,
Cabin Fever, variations on the traditional log cabin block, this was an open competition to anyone worldwide,
Going ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ by Pat Graham, I like this quilt (just that),
Login Shakespeare by , the moment I saw this quilt I thought it was Alicia or someone influenced by her work, Alicia’s quilts have become brighter and brighter without being garish, Alicia has made a series of quilts on Shakespeare’s sonnets so she continued the theme into log cabin and I love the play on words in the title,
