Every show I have been to has a wide variety of talent shown.
This weekend there is a show in Somerset NJ. I have gone three years in a row and never been disappointed. From simple Irish chains and 4Ps to the over the top professional and award winning stunners. There is something for everyone.
Does everyone know of Kaffe Fasset I saw his quilts in a show and if you didn't know it was a kaffe quilt, you might think it was one of mine
. His work focuses on the color and pattern and texture and not so much on the skill of piecing and quilting.
A lot of his work has a very open and spaced big stitch, random quilting. Enough to hold it together which is proof to me, the visual feel of his work is more important than the quilting. Put his work next to a few top quilters in the field today and they look very, very different. He has a very free feel to his work, and others are very controlled and precise. All are masters.
Go to any show you can and enjoy all the creativity.
