1814 – Celebrating at Mr. Crow’s Tea Party Quilt
Wow. That’s incredible. I’ve never seen a quilt like that before. It’s exquisite.
#1765 there is a great deal of technical work in this piece, it also embodies the Celebration theme. Very original unique piece.
1814 celebrating at mr crows party. Some items I disliked simply because of the photography and others – well what were they celebrating? But these crows, well they are truly celebrating. The gossip that must be passing between them. Looks well detailed and well executed. Great job
1814 – Celebrating at Mr. Crow’s Tea Party Quilt. The detail in this is amazing. I could look at it all day!
1814–Celebrating at Mr. Crow’s Tea Party Quilt. It’s creatively detailed,and those crows are certainly celebrating! Such a happy, beautiful piece!
1814 – Celebrating at Mr. Crow’s Tea Party Quilt – I love the hats the crows are wearing and the fact that it’s a quilt and a painting. It’s amazing.
Love 1650!! It is amazing!
1814 – Celebrating at Mr. Crow’s Tea Party Quilt. Love the unique take on the celebration factor. Very cool art!
1814-Beautiful art piece. Love seeing crows at a tea party.
1814. I like the partying crows!
1814 – love the details and the crows!
I vote for #1650
1814 crow tea party is my vote. I love the detail , humour, personality, colour and shine in the piece. It makes me smilie.
1814 is my favorite. The details are amazing and the whole whimsical concept of the crows having a tea party complete with silver and hats just makes me smile.
1814 Love the crows. Great creativity and detail.
1814. I think she really captured the whole idea in a very unique way!! Excellent!
1743
vote 1808
Vote 1808. love it!!!
1689- The needlework is amazing and beautifully done…
1828 – All of the quilts show tremendous skill & creativity but Illumination for Celebration is my favorite. The design & colors are something that would definitely match the style of my home.
1650 – Big Al & The Heart Felts Band Felted Characters
So much talent made for a very hard decision, but 1650 gets my vote. Incredible detail. Just makes me smile.
1828 – Illumination for Celebration Quilt
As with other voters, it was difficult to pick just one. I chose 1828 because I quilt (badly) and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the work.
1664 – Sunshine and Shade Paper Flowers
Beautiful choice of colors, love the combination of textures and details that add complexity to each blossom. What a great way to celebrate Creativ design.
1664 – Beautiful colors! Love!!
1664 – No question, that one’s the best
1664 – So unique, love the colours!
1664
What a beatiful and creative design. Very unique. The flowers are lovely,with much definition.
A Winning design
1664 did an amazing job. Looks amazing and incredibly detailed 🙂
1664 is the best for sure
1685
1718 is my favorite, I find that re-purposing products is good for our environment, and the reuse of the pop tabs is a very smart idea. It would be doubly environmentally friendly if they had also reused crochet thread from an old project that was going to be thrown out or taken apart. But that bag is still a very nice idea and one that would be useful to ladies. Anytime you remake an item into another usable product, and not just for a decoration, is a good idea.
Design #1814 – The crows celebrating. I looked at this by increasing the screen size to 200%. There is much detail with stitching, sequins and additional fiber. With all that is going on, when you look at the whole it is one well blended piece of art. The overall theme just screams, crows just wanna have fun. They are toasting to the creator of this masterpiece.
1822 is my favorite. I know a lot of work went in to all of the entries, and the crows are gorgeous, but the details that went into the simplicity of the bubble fruit quilt is simply stunning.
#1613 – I am a beader and I love when people make things other than jewelry with beads. Lots of work went into making that piece.
I don’t do beading but I love the shape of the vase and color
1664! Looks like there is more flowers to see in that photo as well! Can’t wait to see it all!
Outstanding piece of work
Love the detail
Oops! 1664!
Very nice
1664

1814 – Mr Crows Tea Party – I can’t stop looking at it!
1765. While there are many great pieces, this one was the only one that immediately evoked an emotion of celebration and inspiration. Love the vibrant colours, the intricate work and the figure’s pose.
