Two sets of winners from two large, well attended quilt shows.
Road to California doesn't take place until January, but the winners have already been posted.
This quilt was also at PIQF and one of my favorites.

Artist statement: I designed Woolly Sheep in cottons in 1998 for my company, Critter Pattern Works.
The concept for this version of the pattern came together when I combined suiting weight wool, sheep's wool, felting and hand embroidery. Check out all the winners at: http://www.road2ca.com/2010winners/road/winners.html
Also online are the winners from Quilt Festival - 2010 taking place now in Houston: http://www.quilts.org/winners.html
Since I am a pledged fan of Jenny Bowker I am amazed that her wonderful quilt was only awarded Honorable Mention.
Honorable Mention in the category Art-People, Portraits, and Figures
"Sandstorm Over the White Desert" by JENNY BOWKER of GARRAN, ACT, AUSTRALIA
