Beautiful Quilt at Lancaster Show
 

This was my favorite.

My oh My. How in this world did someone make this quilt? It is wonderful. I'm amazed. Barny PS And how long and how tedius was it to make

Wow, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even imagine making a quilt like that. She said it took her 9 months. I think she was from New York. She said she was married and has 3 children.

Very awe inspiring!!!!

So beautiful. As I moved the mouse and the picture, it looked like the wheel was moving. I can't even imagine how this was done.

WOW! What a gorgeous quilt! And what a talented quilter! I can easily see why it is your favorite!

As far as I know this quilt has already won several big awards and ribbons. It's called "America, Let It Shine" and is made by Sherry Reynolds. Just beautiful....

Oh my. That must have taken forever to make. It's beautiful

This was my favorite quilt at the show, too. Sherry was there, answering questions about the quilt. She is darling, and seems "over the moon" about winning her award. She said the quilt took her 9 months to make, and she mostly sewed from 9 pm until 3 am while the kids were asleep. (I remember her saying her oldest two children are 9 and 11 years.) Are you ready for this??--She made the quilt entirely on her Bernina! Awesome accomplishment!

Whew! This sure is beautiful!

That would take me a life time to make! It sure is beautiful!

wow, I can only dream of making a quilt like that, it is fabuloussss.....

Its a Master Piece and she is a very talented lady!!

Wow-outstanding! Where there is a will there is a way!!

All one can say is WOW!

Amazing talent! Puts to rest anyone who questions if quilting is art!

All I can say is "Wow"!

This is so beautiful and so outstanding that I am speechless.

I saw it too and it is amazing up close!

Totally unbelievable. Awesome to the extreme. And 3 children? Oh my, I am so impressed.

All I can say is "WOW"!!

Sherry is very talented. We are happy to have her in our community.

That is a spectacular quilt. I can see why it would have won awards. Just amazing.

Absolutely and amazingly beautiful!

I saw this at Lancaster and I can say that it was outstanding. Too bad you can't see the crystal embelishments. It is definitely a WOW quilt

I gotta get me a Bernina!!!

That is definitely a work of art. Beautiful.

Wow, really amazing!

Barb, thank you so much for posting a link with those detailed pictures and a bit of background on the quilt. The maker is a true artist. This is just beautiful, peicing and quilting. Just amazing.

Unreal! Holy Smokes!

If that's all it takes, I would have gotten one years ago!! LOL

If she can do it, then so can we. It is just determination and will power and sewing continuously. I could do that, but I'm afraid I'm a bit lazy. 9 months is a long time for a quilt. But she only had so many hours to quilt. When I see quilts like that it makes me what to try to be better and try harder quilts. I'm glad you posted that picture. Gives me hope.

OMG! Boy do I feel inadequate! Just gorgeous!

That is a stunning achievement, the moreso as it is by a home quilter. My first thought (as a home quilter, with a young'un) was "where did she have the space to lay that quilt out flat?! And how did she stop the cat walking on it?". I am thoroughly impressed...
