MLOTA announces winners of annual quilt show

Posted

The Mineola League of the Arts (MLOTA) presented it’s annual quilt show Oct. 11-12. The show theme was “My Favorite Holiday.”

Some 35 quilters shared their quilts and over 103 quilts were on display. Also featured was a hand quilting display and demonstration showing different styles of hand quilting.

Cecilia Nolley of Hideaway won the raffle quilt drawing. The quilt was pieced from donated basket bottoms to which the MLOTA Quilt Guild members added floral tops. Nancy Gibson of Lindale set the blocks together and Cheryl Pontious, also of Lindale, did the long-arm machine quilting. 

Show Judge, Brenda Jeschke of Buffalo, awarded the Judge’s Choice Ribbon to Donna Reach of Diana for “Jimmie’s Flower Garden.” The Best of Show ribbon, sponsored by Stitchin’ Heaven Quilt Shop with a $100 gift card, was awarded to Susan Kellam of Bullard for “Vintage Trick or Treat.” 

Mineola Mayor Kevin White chose “Doc Quinn” by Brenda Taylor of Chandler as the Mayor’s Choice ribbon winner. Meredith Foundation representatives Jerry and Shirley Phillips chose “Lonestar” as the Meredith Choice Ribbon winner. “Lonestar” was quilted by the Busy Bees at the First United Methodist Church in Lindale and was a raffle quilt from the Christian Women’s Job Corps of Lindale.

MLOTA members voted to award Reta Myers of Mineola for “Janet’s Star” with the Guild Memorial Ribbon which honors past members.

The public attending the show voted to award the Viewers’ Choice Ribbon, sponsored by Mineola Needleworks with a $100 gift certificate, to Diane Pitkin of Mineola for “Let’s Bake.”
