It's sad to hear of the end of quilt shows. We had the Rocky Mountain quilt show in Loveland, Co. shut down this past year. I understand the booth cost vs. profit margin is one of the reason vendors can't continue to support them. Declining attendance is another. It's sad to see them close and hopefully something else will pop up to take their place. These show quilts are always a delight and inspiration to see. You may see one and think I can do that!! Thanks for posting these photos.

Thank for for sharing these pictures. The quilts are truly wonderful. I am taken by the wonderful ruler work quilting in several of them. I also am sorry to see quilt shows close. I also am sad to see the Rocky Mountain Quilt Show in Loveland be closed.

Beautiful quilt show and thank you so much for sharing. I got to go to a quilt show and didn't even leave the house!!
I took my BFF to her first quilt show one time too and she was so in awe and enjoyed it so much.

That blue and white quilt is amazing. Reminds me of delftware. The quilting on it is fantastic. Is that the one that won BOS or was it the equally amazing art quilt posted right above that fades from yellow to red to purple?
Thank you for taking the time to post some pics of the show! Love to see them. Gets me excited for the two shows coming up that I am attending. One is MQX and they always have amazing stuff with all the major quilters (I reverently refer to as the "big dogs") submitting quilts. The other is a local show that only allows guild members to enter.
