First Prize:

     A bed quilt handcrafted and donated to the MHS by the Franklin County Quilters Guild.  It is based on a design called "Flower Garden" by Julie Golimowski, which was selected by the quilters and inspired by the many floral motifs, and the many colors, of the windows of Pratt Hall.  The design was tweaked, also based on Pratt Hall's, windows with each block having a multicolored border like our windows.  There is also a block with a church with stained glass windows added.   It's sized for a queen sized bed, 93 1/2 X 95 1/2 inches.  It would also make a spectacular wall hanging.  This quilt has been appraised at $3,100 by American Quilters Society (AQS) Certified Appraiser, Sandra Palmer.  The appraisal will be included with the quilt.



Second Prize:
 
     Handcrafted quilted table runner called "Holiday Braid".  Measures approximately 20" X 56".  Made by award winning Montgomery quilter, Sharon Perry.

 

Third Prize:

     A set of 12 embroidery patterns featuring the covered bridges of Franklin County, and the instructions for making them into a stunning redwork bed quilt (shown below).  Individual blocks can also be made that are suitable for framing.  Designed by award winning Franklin County quilters Denise Chase and Sharon Perry.
