The contemporary class is always the one that I seem to take the most photographs of! The remit for this group is for quilts that draw on the traditions of quilt making, through piecing, applique or wholecloth, but have an original approach. Makers may use non-traditional fabrics, fabric printing and dyeing, embellishment and unusual construction methods. Quilts should have an original design and demonstrate sure use of colour. They may be sewn by hand, machine or any combination. Well there was one quilt that was absolutely outstanding - and was by Claudia Pfiel. Her quilt - "Fern Rising" - was getting a lot of admiring comments, especially when the steward showed the back of the quilt too - it really was stunning!!
