For the trees and flowers mainly freeformcrochet,and some needlefelted

my entry at OEQC

A few weeks ago I entered a quilt in an international contest, the Open European Quilt Contest!

There was a theme,' magic', and I made this quilt especial for this occasion.

My second quiltcontest ever, and it really showed I wasn't aware of the fact that there were no "wild"quilts ,but mine......

I didn't get any ribbon ofcourse,but the distributor of Aurifil , Anita from Nitidesign, reward me for the 'most remarkable quilt'!!!
It was painted, hand and machinequilted , handapplication(the tree)and had many threedimensional parts, what doesn't show in the picture.
Ansje Prooper made this great picture of my piece, she was for the 4th time in a row winner in the advanced-category!
