More from the Show. Click the photos to see them bigger. Notice the yellow tags on some of these. Those were for sale. I never pay attention to that when I'm there because I'm only looking for inspiration, but my goodness, there were some gorgeous quilts for sale!
This first quilt was in front of the Stitchin' Post and I have to say I saw it from the back first and was so intrigued with the beautiful quilting that I went around to the front.
Here are two shots of the back.
I love this one for the colors and variety of blocks. Houses and birds always make me happy.
A typical Sisters vignette. I like how there is variety in the sizes and placement of the stars. Makes it more interesting. The striped inner border is unusual too, with the triangles along it.
Like I said, I love houses in quilts. This one gives me lots of inspiration for my own house quilt someday. I knew this looked familiar. Take a look at this one from last year's show for a different colorway.
I just love this sweet, simple quilt. The colors are paler than I usually use, but the robin's egg blue really sets it off. I also like the use of Kaffe Fasset prints with the large motifs getting their own patches and the smaller ones surrounded in squares.
These next two are by Joanne Meyers who is a member of our guild. She is a wonderful quilter and makes especially beautiful applique. These two designs are from the book, Amish Inspired Quilts, which is also one of my favorites. I saw Joanne when she first got this book and knew she'd make something gorgeous. All those triangles are appliqued.
The colors in this photo are off. This is even prettier in person.
This one I love for the colors again (red and green combos always appeal to me). The free-pieced baskets are really sweet and the multiple borders are nice. This one was across the street from me while I was hostessing, so I had to take a closer look as soon as I was done.
This quilt is by local quilter, Wendy Hill, who came to our quilt guild recently to talk about her quilts. This quilt is from her book, Easy Bias-Covered Curves. I'm not sure if I'll ever try this technique, but the result is striking.
Well, I've still got at least two more posts to go. I've got photos from the teacher's tent and photos from the block contest. Both are worth waiting for!
