Category winners

Here's a couple of quilts that won first place in their category that I especially liked.



"Chromatic Counterpoint" (above) made by Leslie Rego of Idaho; winner of first prize in the category Art-Abstract, Large at IQF 2007.




"Northern Lights" (above) made by Janet Fogg of Oregon; winner of first prize in the category Art-Pictorial at IQF 2007.

I have a couple of detail pictures of that quilt, too: here and here. (I especially like the way she quilted the snowflakes into the background.) I also have a couple more pictures of her quilts, which tend to feature these terrific pieced animals. She won Viewer's Choice last year for this kitty and a couple of years before that there was a bear - and it looks like this tree is also hers. Really nice work.
