Houston International Quilt Festival 2012
 

First time I attended and wanted to share some of the beautiful quilts for those who didn't make it to the show.

Those are beautiful. Maybe next year I will be able to go.

oh my how beautiful!! I especially like the landscape ones.

nice show....

Beautiful quilts! The landscape ones are outstanding!

I have said before: There should be a different name for these and for the things I make. They are the opposite ends of a quilting spectrum. . absolutely amazing.

Thanks so much for sharing. These are beautiful!

WOW, those quilts are truly amazing !
Thanks so much for sharing the pictures.

thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing these beautiful quilts from the show!

All those quilts are just wonderful. I just love it when you post show photos.

I was so fortunate to be able to go to Houston and to a quilt show for the first time. It is just amazing. So much eye candy, such nice people, and so many products. The overall winner was a complete show stopper. Just magnificent. Thanks for sharing these pictures.

All off them are so very beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing -- this quilting board is the best !
Always sharing !
I enjoy the quilt shows because I can't go to them very often. So its my inspiration ! Love the last photo of the country scene(plaids for the barn roofs-excellent idea) and enlarged tulips at the bottom.


Happy Quilting !

Fabulous, Thank you so much for sharing them.

I got dibs on the last one!
Beautiful!

Thanks for sharing...

I have to agree with you Ruth. I won't live long enough to ever make a quilt that is even close to any of those shown. I do love them though!!!

Thanks for sharing.

These are outstanding!

Beautiful quilts!!

Absolutely beautiful, Thanks for sharing

Amazing what a simple hexagon and unique, intricate patterns become such beautiful work of art.

thank so much...I'm into hexagons and just picked up some great layouts!!

OMG, each one is spectacular

These areso beautiful, when the hexagons came down, I thought they were the prettiest, then the land scapes, now I think they must have all been beautiful. I hope toget to go one year!

I like the bottom 2 best

I went too. It was fantastic and the quilts were amazing. I really blew my budget with the vendors but got some great fabric and ideas. I have a question though. I bought a charm pack of flannel squares that are perfect for a quick baby quilt. But how do I wash them without them getting out of shape? I've never worked with charm squares before. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Wish I could have been there.Thanks for sharing the pics!

Thanks for posting these. I spent two days attending and saw many beautiful quilts!

OMG How gorgeous these are. I'm new to quilting and I can't imagine ever doing such work.

I went to the Atlanta Quilt show about 3 weeks ago and was just breathless seeing these quilts up close. They were sent in from Germany, Australia, Alaska, and other far away places. Someone here said there should be a different name for what these art quilts are and what we usually make. I agree. I think these are "Fine Art" quilts.

Unbelieveable how anyone can create something so intricate and gorgeous. I am as usual at awe at quilters' craftmanships and creativity. Thanks for sharing these inspiring quilts.

Thank you so very much

Beautiful quilts, I love the pictorial ones, I always wanted to make one but I know it wouldn't even come close to these! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful. I did not know you could do so many things with granny hexagons! And the pictorals are out of this world gorgeous. Makes me wish I could go.

That was one of my favorites too. So many inspiring quilts.

I would not wash charm squares. Just make your quilt, then gently wash before gifting.

You really took great pictures! I took a bunch and then accidentally deleted almost all of them. I was so upset but your photos have really helped! Thank you so much for sharing them. I hope if you have more that you will post them also!
