From a Sow's Ear to a Silk Purse by Janee Brewer of Littleton, CO won Best Colorado Wall Quilt.  In her artist's statement she said that she bought crocheted doilies for $5.00 at a yard sale awhile ago and didn't know what to do with them until she took a class from Cindy Needham.  She used silk dupioni fabric, poly and silk thread and the quilt is machine pieced and long arm machine quilted.
