Second place. 'Kicking Leaves' by Jenny Pudney - Natural fibre fabrics were machine appliqued to a cotton fabric/wading/fabric sandwich. The applied leaves had a wool/viscose wadding to increase shrinkage and the whole was dyed after stitching.
NOTE - the above picture isn't this quilt. Sorry I was tired and fluffed the picture sorting. The one above is another quilt I really liked, 'Furry Leaves' by Anne Moncrieff - Faux chenille machine sewn from cotton fabrics. hand embroidered and quilted over polyester wadding. I will be putting the right picture on the next entry.

These next couple are ones that caught my eye. There were 62 entries in the class, and to be honest I liked all of them. Sadly I can't put up pictures of every quilt.

This one really feels like Autumn as I see it. I especially liked the little metal spider in it's web. 'Autumn swirls and twirls' by Doreen Mclean - Glorious colours and textures with the wind lifting, swirling and twirling the tumbling leaves which flutter down to rest on the woodland carpet.
Seems like I can't put any more pictures on this post, so you will have to wait for the next exciting installment.

thank you so much for posting these pics. I wanted to go but couldn't
Well as soon as blogger starts plaing ball I will put some more up. I hope you get to go next year, I know I will be there it is such a wonderful show
Can't say that the first place one does much for me, I adore the Furry Leaves though. Even in a picture it makes you want to touch it.
I see what you mean about the rosettes. They are fabulous and spiky, like a cactus flower or something.
