Another highlight of the Quilt Odyssey quilt show was seeing Sharon Schamber's, "Scarlet Serenade", winning quilt of $100,000 Quilting Challenge Magazine contest. What an exquisite quilt! It's another quilt that photos just do not do justice, but you can see close-ups of the quilt that show some pretty amazing detail here. On top of getting to see the quilt up close and in person, I also got to meet and chat with Sharon Schamber herself! The meeting was purely accidental, I was shopping through the vendor's booths and spotted the quilt halo (designed by Sharon Schamber) that I have been wanting. As I picked it up, a woman behind me said that I was sure to enjoy quilting with it. I turned around and started to talk to her and then realized who I was talking to! What a thrill to spend a few minutes chatting about quilting with one of my quilting idols!

Thanks for the great photos of the show - for those of us who didn't make it!! I'm curious about the "Quilt Halo" so be sure and let us all know what you think
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to post about the quilt halo once I can find the time to sit down and try it! Right now we're getting ready to go to NC to see our son and daughter-in-law for a few days, so not much sewing going on here this week!
