2014 Tyler Quilt Show
 

Well, we're into quilt show season now! Dallas 2 weeks ago, Tyler this weekend. Here's a showing of some of the quilts. Please be patient, it will take several posts to get them in.
The first one is Best of Show.

These are the more modern quilts.

Quite beautiful. Sure wish there was a quilt show closer to where I am.

More traditional quilts.

The theme this year was "Not your Grandmother's quilt". So, here's some that fit that category.

WOW, That was quite a show. Amazing talent ... I thought... Oh, that's my favorite.... until I saw the next one... and the one after that... and that, and......

Here's one that had so many beads on it that it was super heavy!

There's more, but I think you got a good idea as to what the show was like. Hope everyone enjoys!!

P.S. Sure was glad to see you Toni!

thanks for sharing the photo's
we always get ideas for quilts from show s

Whew! That was a lot of work getting what I did loaded! There were more there, the usual Judy Niemeyer's & one that shouldn't have gotten a ribbon at all! The entrant won the quilt from another guild & entered it into this show as her own! How tacky!!
The quilting was absolutely out of this world on some of these quilts. When you hear "the quilting makes the quilt", it definitely showed at this show! If you guys/gals are considering putting quilts into shows, please let your longarmer play with the quilting design. That's what these blue ribbon winners did & it brought them home the big ribbons. You know of some of us that do custom right here on this board. Or use some of your local longarmers. It's worth it!

beautiful quilts!

I agree if they had no part in the quilt, it shouldn't be entered. but I guess if the piecer and quilter are recognized that might be ok. I just thought the one who had a "hand" in it were the ones who were considered the entrants.

Thank you!!!

thank you for sharing

Wow, all are beautiful. Thank you for doing this post.

I love quilt shows but don't get the chance to go to many of them. Thank you for taking the time to share these with us.

Fabulous. I like that second one you posted the best. I love 3D effects.

Thanks so much for taking us with you!

Hi,

All are gorgeous, but I seem to like the 2 color quilts, the red & white pop out at me...Thanks for sharing

I agree with what coachmatthewsvhs said. I'd see one and think that was my favorite but then I'd see the next picture. What talent!!! Can't even begin to imagine the amount of time the quilter put into the wholecloth. It was magnificent!! Can't say as I envy the judges with having to make the decision of who deserved which ribbon.

Thank you so much for sharing.

thanks so much for sharing they are all great!!!nice to see quilts from different areas ,maureen

Thanks for sharing. I think I am getting Spring fever, with all those lovely flowers!

Thank you for sharing all the beautiful quilts!!!!

Thank you. I enjoyed the quilt show, spent no money and my feet don't even hurt.

Very pretty pictures. I do agree with Tartan that the raffle quilt maker should get the ribbon rather than the winner.
