My wife and I went to the Hope Quilter's Guild bi-annual Quilt Show today in historic Old Washington, Arkansas (about 1.5 hours from where we live). It was WELL worth the drive! The show was held at the Old Washington historic park, which has buildings dating back to the early 1800s. There were ladies walking around in period dress, etc., so it was really a nice show. They also had vendors on site, so I bought a lot of really nice fabrics and a book. And oh yeah, I took a ton of pictures...enjoy!

That makes two of us. Wow. Just when I think I see my "favorite" out of the group, up scrolls another one. There are some phenomenal quilts there!

Lacelady 09-12-2009 03:16 PM

Thank you Eddie, for posting all these wonderful pics - so many gems amongst them, though I didn't notice any rosettes. I would have given all of them a rosette. No wonder you thought the drive was worthwhile. I was even enjoying the snippets of quilts peeking out from underneath some of the others, or laying on sheets on the floor between the stands.

redquilter 09-12-2009 03:55 PM

Oh WOW! They are all spectacular. What a treat to get to see them even it it wasn't in person. Thanks for sharing.

Campbell34 09-12-2009 04:44 PM

Your pics are beautiful, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw # 142, One year ago I won a blue ribbon at the local Mohave Co fair here in Arizona for the same tree of life quilt, only I bound it in white, Took me about a year to quilt it , I have had it for 10 years in stages of putting together, I had a problem tho with the little blue dots to follow the quilting lines , They would not come out in washing , otherwise I was considered for the best of show, I only joined your forum today, this is my :lol: :lol: first post

Absolutely beautiful quilts! What a lovely way to spend a Saturday! Thanks for sharing.

nana2 09-12-2009 05:07 PM

Eddie, Thanks for the posting of these pictures. My grandparents and my dad lived in Hope, Arkansas until the mid to late 1930s at which time they moved to Benton. My grandfather always enjoyed knowning about the latest technology around him, but when he passed away in the 70s none of us could have known that his granddaughter would be enjoying a quilt show from that area on a computer screen in her home. He and my grandmother would have loved these quilts.

NorBanaquilts 09-12-2009 05:09 PM

Wow, that there are a lot of great quilts. Thanks for sharing

isnthatodd 09-12-2009 05:33 PM

Thanks for the show! All it needs is popcorn :lol:

gramysews 09-12-2009 06:08 PM

Thanks Eddie.Those pictures are awesome!! Beautiful Quilts :!:

janRN 09-12-2009 06:21 PM

OMG!! What beautiful quilts. Thanks, Eddie, for posting the pictures--I felt like I was at the show. I look at these quilts and don't know whether to be inspired or intimidated; I'll never reach that skill level. I know--practice, practice. Thanks again (she says as she cringes at the WIPS and UFOs around her)

Mamaskeeto 09-12-2009 06:32 PM

Eddie thanks for sharing, all the quilts are stunning. I love quilt 139 (the first one shown) it appears several times in the show. Does anyone know the pattern name?

Lisanne 09-12-2009 06:45 PM

So many of these were mind-blowing. I'll be back to look at them more slowlt later on.

Blue Bell 09-12-2009 06:52 PM

Thanks for posting the wonderful quilts. It must have been a great show. Glad that you were able to attend.

joeyoz 09-12-2009 07:21 PM

I love going to quilt shows. There is nothing like actually being there, but this was close. Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures. I was drooling the whole time. :shock: :shock:

Quiltgranny 09-12-2009 07:28 PM

Aren't those called "French Braid" quilts?

nursie76 09-12-2009 07:42 PM

Oh thank you so much for taking the time to post these pics. There are so many beautiful quilts. I can see why you thought it worth the trip.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 09-12-2009 07:51 PM

For someone like me who is still fighting just to get pointy points, those quilts are mind boggling! :shock:

Thanks for taking the time to share.

Eddie 09-12-2009 07:58 PM

You're welcome everyone, I'm glad you liked them. I particularly liked the following one. Does anyone know what this pattern is called?

quilting librarian 09-12-2009 09:37 PM

Beautiful pictures of awesome and amazing quilts - thanks! I, too, will be back to look at them again.

quiltluvr 09-12-2009 09:49 PM

Sorry, don't know the name.

Thanks for posting all those gorgeous pictures. I always lean toward the scrappies and there were quite a few you posted.

What I would give to be able to drive an hour and half to go to a quilt show. So glad you enjoyed the show and shared with us here.

quilting librarian 09-12-2009 09:54 PM

Fat Quarter Friendly from Fons and Porter's For the love of Quilting Magazine has a similar quilt called Scrappy Star on page 101. Same stars, but not set on point like your picture. This is one I really like, too!

Also, NorBanaquilts has a picture of this quilt as her avatar... maybe she knows!

Thanks for the quilt show! Your photos are most appreciated!

I believe that quilt block is the 'hunter's star'. See what you think.

Thank you, I believe you're right! And I was hoping it would be an easier pattern to piece. :-)

barnbum 09-13-2009 08:20 AM

Wow! WOW!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!:shock: :shock: :shock:

Eddie--thank you for letting us see these. I'll be back to look again and again. So much talent--so many ideas....

First of all Eddie, based on the work you have posted, you are more then capable of this block! So there!

Secondly, thank you so much for posting all these wonderful pictures. There were some awesome quilts there. Looks like french braid was a particularly popular pattern.

sewnsewer2 09-13-2009 10:19 AM

WOW!! Fantastic quilts. Thanks for sharing the pics.

buddy'smom 09-13-2009 10:56 AM

Oh thank you for sharing, I just love all the quilts, stunning, I'm going to a quilt show next month at the Duttchess Com. collage, so looking forward to it.

Quilt4u 09-13-2009 11:39 AM

Wow!!! I love them all.

Bayou Quilter 09-13-2009 03:30 PM

THOSE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL......What is the pattern for 113 it looks like an elongated building blocks......Wish could have been there. Thanks for posting show..

bearpaw 09-13-2009 04:04 PM

Great pictures!! Loved the red and white quilt and #131! They were all beautiful!

AkAngel 09-13-2009 09:42 PM

Wow, what a wonderful quilt show, thanks so much for sharing with us.
I'm not sure but looking at your quilt it kind of reminds me of a Hunter Star, would anyone else agree?

quilter1962 09-13-2009 10:08 PM

Where to start Eddie !!!!! I can't choose a favourite - they are all so beautiful in their own special way. Thanks for taking the time to post & share with us all here.

hereca622 09-14-2009 09:50 AM

Thanks Eddie, I needed that. There is nothing like a Good Quilt Show Fix on Monday Morning to get your creative juices flowing.

RedGarnet222 09-14-2009 10:17 AM

Gee ... I don't know how I missed this, eddie.
What a neat show. It is just wonderful and like everyone said hard to choose a favorite. I suppose if I were to pick just one, it would be the appliqued baltimore at the begining of the "show". Wow that had to take years to do.
