Last week was beautiful. Prairie Quilt Guild participates in an exciting event held at Botanica Gardens here in Wichita. I met with Lisa Johnson of Picket Fence Quilt Company (who has done so much in setting up this event) and Paula Englert of Botanica to walk through the layout before the show.
While strolling through with the wonderful ladies that plan this event, we took some pictures of the beautiful roses.
There are wonderful statues, fountains, beautiful trees and amazing flowers everywhere. It is a perfect backdrop for the quilt show. The beautiful, bright quilt draped over this statue’s arm was created by one of our guild members, Melanie Rose.
I set up a crocheted tent to display my Sleepy Bags and tote. It was fun to see all of the quilts displayed throughout the gardens.

The judges love the pink striped ruffled Britches and Bloomers Sue made, but best of all, they love the Diva sunglasses and model pose Nevi has! Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photos with us.
Thank you to all the sewers, creative thinkers and darling models who participated in our contest. You are all so very appreciated!

Congratulations to our first place winner, Kylie Rott and son, Graham. Kylie has won a $100.00 gift certificate to her favorite quilt shop – The Picket Fence Quilt Company of Wichita, KS.
Our judges love
Kylie’s choice of fabrics and colors used to make the Argyle Dreams quilt. The dark brown stitching she added pops and really makes this project “hers”. Thank you Kylie and Graham!
