Anna & G on the Road: "The Lion King" at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show

One of the many highlights of the 2017 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show was the exhibit sponsored by Cherrywood Fabrics and Disney Theatrical of The Lion King. This was the second challenge by Cherrywood Fabrics. Each participant was given 2 fabrics...gold and black, in which they must use 60% in the quilt, but in addition were allowed to accent with other Cherrywood Fabrics. All quilts were to be 20 x 20 inches. They received 304 quilts, which were judged, and the chosen 120 have been in a traveling exhibit.

Jeff Omodt, who is a Board Member of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, worked hard to secure exhibit space for this fabulous display and also dressed up and greeted viewers! 20 quilts have been selected to be on display in the theater for the 20th Anniversary celebration of The Lion King! I hope you enjoy this preview and check out a future video of the entire display on The Quilt Roadies!

Would love to have the book, Seasons at Buttermilk Basin, you have inspired me to try appliquing with wool, and i love it. I am finishing up the farmhouse threads BOW.

These are gorgeous quilts. I wish they were not in the Smilbox format, as it makes it too difficult to scroll forward and backward to study the various quilts at your own pace.

Great slide show Anna, this was a wonderful show to see in person with you. Thanks for being my guide.

Great music choice to accompany it!

It's a lovely display! Just a minor correction though, the Challenge included 4 fabrics: 3 shades of gold, and 1 black (a fat quarter of each). Still, amazing to see it in person! The Cherrywood Challenges are always stunning -- and there's still a little time for this year's, the theme is Van Gogh (deadline Aug 1).

-I saw this at the AQS show here in Daytona and if you are so lucky to get a chance to see it please set aside time to do so. It is spectacular.
