Collage Shots of the Brazieres - SMQ One

Here is a collage of entries - as I collect the paperwork, I am taking a snap of each of the entries. These were taken at Sew Many Quilts in Johnson City, NY. I will be heading out to O'Susannah's in Watkins Glen and Quilter's Corner in Ithaca tomorrow - pending weather and kids illness (a yucky summer flu). Cheers to all who completely their entires!

Brazieres Hanging at the Photographers

Our photographers, Kirk and Lesli Van Zandbergen of Van Zandbergen Photography in Binghamton, NY (http://www.vzphoto.com/) are storing some of the entries, as they plan out their strategy for photographing all the entries. The one with the flowers in front is decorated with yo-yo flowers made by using the Clover yo-yo maker - very cool!

The Braziere Wall at Sew Many Quilts

Here are some of the entries hanging on the wall at Sew Many Quilts in Johnson City, NY. If you recall, a gentleman in my quilt guild made an entry, and as per our agreement, I will be wearing it at our first meeting this September when we start our 09-10 year. Can you guess which one it is? I'll give you a hint - it's got icicles on it - Colder than a Witches you-know what!
