WFQ 2022 winners!

We have a lot of categories so we can give out a lot of ribbons!  Not kidding. 

All of our winners are the result of People's Choice voting (except the Judge's Choice) and our attendees take voting very seriously!

We awarded a total of 89 ribbons - for first, second, third, and honorable mention places (multiples of those), and also "Judge's Choice" ribbons awarded by our panel of Celebrity Judges. 

Here is a collection of photos of only the first place winners in each category - we had 300+ quilts entered in the show and 89 ribbons so these are the top winners.  We encourage everyone who entered, ribbon or not, to post photos of their quilts on their Facebook page!

This blog post will be shared to the Woolley Fiber Quilters Facebook page, as well. 

Thanks to everyone who entered and to everyone who voted!  All the quilts in the show reflected the artistry and care of each quilter.  We loved them all!

Woolley Fiber Quilters' Bed Turning at the quilt and fiber show!

Perhaps our most popular feature of our shows is the Bed Turning!  Teri Bever chooses a theme and collects quilts to illustrate her theme.  The quilts are layered on a charming old bed and two assistants hold them up and turn them back as Teri talks about the history of the pattern, any construction techniques that are interesting, fabrics used, and tells about the quilter.  In this collection you will see interesting patterns, contrasts, and some glorious wool fabric that all but glows in the quilt.  So much fun and educational!  

Most but not all of the quilts this year were provided by our Featured Quilter, Reynola Pakusich!

Teri holds the bed turning twice each day at the show and it is always well attended.  Here is the sequence of photos from 2022 and you will wish you were there!



















Thanks to Teri and her team for sharing so many GREAT quilts this year!


Day three - is this the best day to come to the quilt and fiber art show?

It's cool and fresh outside! The perfect day to come to the Woolley Fiber Quilters' show at Cascade Middle School! Also, this is day 3 of 3 and you want to be sure to see the show before it closes today at 4 p.m.!

We have so much to see and experience - frankly, it's the best show we have ever had. 300+ quilts on display, plus our Featured Artist quilts by Reynola Pakusich and the bed turning! Demonstrations - want to learn about weaving? - Dorset Buttons, fiber art pieces, vendors, scavenger hunt for the kids, and the People's Choice voting results are announced today! Will you win our fabulous raffle quilt?

We open at 10 and the bed turnings are at 11 and 2. It's time to enjoy a day at the quilt show! And bring friends!

Day two - so much fun in store!

We are having a lot of fun at the Woolley Fiber Quilters' 2022 quilt and fiber art show!  

Have you noticed how quilters love animals?  On quilts, as quilt helpers, and in every way!

Here are just a few CATS on quilts but you will find so many more. 

Speaking of finding, we have a scavenger hunt for the young and young at heart! 

Always multiple reasons to come to the quilt and fiber art show!  10 to 5 Saturday.

Day one - show's open! What a GREAT day!

Our guests were coming in ahead of the 10 a.m. opening today.  We were happy to see them!   (There is nothing magic about 10:00 - come on in!)

Lots of quilters and quilt appreciators, lots of volunteers, lots of buzz about how BEAUTIFUL the show is and how BIG!

Here are just a very few of the photos setting the pace for today - from the bed turning (daily at 11 and 2), to the demonstrations, to Dorset Buttons, and the Welcome Table crew!  We love opening day at the quilt show and it shows!

Come see us Saturday to find out how much FUN we can have together!
