Are you ready for more quilt show eye candy?? My friends Cheryl and Marilyn do such beautiful work! This wall handing is exquisitely pieced by Cheryl and masterfully machine quilted by Marilyn. I wish my close up had not been completely blurry so you could see more closely the 3-D white corner triangles!
This quilt won the color use award in addition to an Honorable Mention...my favorite colors!
I love "bug jar" quilts...this is the first time I ever saw the jars in a cupboard.
I like these buzz saw looking quilts...it's on my scrappy bucket list...
Another powerful pattern and quilt I have never heard of..."California Nites." There were two of these at the show, the other one in a more neutral palette, which I forgot to take a picture of (I was in a "quilt show fog")
.
Cool lilies...
This basket quilt had a lot of embroidery and bead embellishment...
Around the corner, again...arghh...
I like the variety of finished block-of-the-month quilts at this show...
I should have gotten a few close-ups of this quilt...it won for best machine quilting...
Nice purples...
Another from my friend Cheryl, I LOVE the colors and pattern on this one...
I love pieced basket blocks...
Kim Diehl was the featured teacher during the week...I was hoping to see quilts from her patterns...
It's always fun to see a Robert Callahan quilt...
"Sweet Sixteen"...Edyta Sitar quilts are EVERYWHERE at this show this year...all so pretty!
I have little tubs of 30's prints in the quilt cave that started vibrating (even though I wasn't home to see it) when I saw this quilt. It was so beautiful.
A Lori Smith pattern...
I love, love, love this quilt...I've got to find this pattern...
My friend Norma made this pretty stitched quilt.
Buddy Mary made and taught this block-of-the-month quilt, "Vintage Rouge."
Mary also made this stitched beauty, "Vintage Tin."
I REALLY like this block-of-the-month quilt...even though it has northern motifs, I'd like to make it for a southern relative...maybe I could substitute a possum and Big Foot for blocks in the quilt containing motifs not seen down south...
This was such a sweet quilt in person! I really loved all the little touches and the color palette.
This quilt satisfied my "Love Jones" for all things log cabin.
Very cool dog quilt...the colors reminded me of one of my favorite movies, EVER, "Ghostbusters" (where Rick Moranis' character's head was hooked up to a monitor, showing his inner specter).
Somehow I missed getting the picture of the whole quilt on this one...I was so taken with each block.
Edyta Sitar was sure a hit at this show! Here's another one...
Ole Sue gets a modern fabric make-over...
Sorry about my photography from this year's show...it was more blurry, crooked, and incomplete than usual.
Happy Mother's Day!
