We really enjoyed "Never Give Up" by Judy Ullman of Irving, Texas, which won a "Judge's Choice" award in the "Open" division. Personally that frog reminds me of Winston Churchill and the detail on him is fantastic.

Ms. Ullman's raw edge applique was superb. I just love the thread-painting on the pink feathers. Very nice.

Ms. Ullman had the shortest artist's statement I have ever seen, but her quilt gets her point across perfectly.

Everyone who saw "Mr. T White Gloves at the Quilt Show" by Judy Kreihn laughed; it is SO clever. The idea of Mr. T as the quilt police just tickled everyone's fancy.

The juxtaposition of Mr. T against the delicate pinwheel background is perfect. This quilt may not have won a prize, but it was certainly a crowd-pleaser.

Everyone had to go in for a closer look at Mr T's incredible "chatelaine". Love love love the scissors and the sewing machine!

There was much to admire on this quilt. The appliqued camo is incredible, and, of course Mr. T would have QLTR on his belt buckle. Check out those "rings"; what a clever idea to use gold buttons.

Ms. Kriehn captured his implacable expression and distinctive Mohawk perfectly.

I always loved the "A-Team" and their crazy heroics. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
