Held by the Orange County Quilters Guild and displayed at Zion Lutheran Church on N. East Street in Anaheim, this was an impressive display.

The first room held two challenge competitions. In the Crayon Quilt Challenge, contestants picked two crayons out of a bag and then had to use the colors as inspiration for their piece. Here were some of my favorites:
In the President's Challenge, each quilter was given a different set of instructions (based on their skill level). The 6 block challenge was doled out a month at a time, where the quilters had to present their previous block to get further instructions. Joan was challenged to design a unique layout for a table runner that could also be reversible with a different design on the back.

This vendor has an excellent product that allows you to use a laser jet printer to put an image on any one of a variety of fabrics. She carries all types of fabrics, in different sizes, mounted with a backing to work in any printer. Plus, she has a custom spray that will stabilize any ink to make it permanent.
She offers the easiest way to create a fabric image of any photo and then use it in quilting or any other art project. Here's a link to her website:
