Hey Tink's Mom you took great photos :thumbup: All I could say as I saw them in person "I AM NOT WORTHY". Did you hear while you were there that it is the last show in Chicago? They are moving it to Cinncinnati :thumbdown: But good for the folks around there!!

Thanks for the comment of the photos...I read that they were moving on the quilt show website, earlier in the week. Then saw the ads for next year in the program... :(

OMG, I think I shall go back to bed today and pull the covers over my head!!!!!!! How did I get into this thing called 'Quilting' I feel sick...........

PS Thankyou for posting the pics, I never get to see anything like these ever!

What beauty! However, I feel like there's Michelango and then there's an ant crawling across the canvas with paint on its feet! Guess which one I am?

Wow! Amazing! Love the Dahlias! Thanks for sharing!

The best part is there is room for all of us!

Incredible. Thanks for sharing. I especially like the iris and the dahlias. Reminds me of Georgia O'Keeffe.

Thanks for sharing, without your generosity there are probably many like myself who would never get to see any of these wonderful quilts!

WOW! Those are gorgeous!

WOW!!!! Those are absolutely gorgeous quilts!!! Thanks so much for sharing them with us!!

Holy cow!! Talk about feeling inadequate. Those are incredible. The Iris is fantastic. Thanks so much for posting the pictures. I think I'm going to switch to wood-working.

Thank you so much for the pics. I feel like I was there with you! Some amazing talented quilters! Way over my head!

Thank you so much for the pics. I am in awe. What wonderful talent.

Oooooh. The mermaid. The stained glass. So beautiful!

Yeah, I'm there with you! But I'm the ant with the limp. :shock: :wink: :-(

Great photos, Tink's mom. But what a way to feel unworthy! LOL

Girls, I'm the ant behind you...I feel so lost when I look at these beautiful quilts...they are definate winners...all!

:oops:

Awesome pictures!

Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us!!! (((HUGS)))
Bless your heart for taking your DM with you too :D:D:D
I hope that you recover soon!!!

Stunning! Thank you for sharing.

For everyone who loves these quilts but thinks they will "never be good enough", hey....that's just not true!! Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability, and as you get more practice you will get better and better. One day you will look at your current project, and then compare it to where you are right now, and you will say, "WOW, I've sure gotten a LOT better!" Hang in there and keep going. Have fun along the way, and learn as much as you can. It's as much about the journey and the learning as it is about the creating. Everything you do has value!!! Don't forget it!!

Lovely show! There are some that look like a museum painting. Wow !! Thanks tink's mom for the show.

Thanks for sharing! :thumbup: Can you tell us more about the best of show? Was it appliqued, all quilted pieces, or did you have any information from the label perhaps the pattern name or if it was the quilters design?

I had to look in the festival book...It is called"Let's all Spring Forward" by Rosalie Baker and it is appliqued.

So many beautiful quilts! In addition to the ones mentioned, I was bowled over by the butterfly.

Thanks so much for taking the pictures and sharing them with us.

Hello Susie Do you think that maybe you could send me directions , so that i might be able to show some of my photos on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Nimble Thimble

I'm not too good at this...go to home, at the top of this page, then to photos, at the top of the page it will give you directions.

thanks so much for the pics, I love the iris

Does anyone have an idea on the pattern name of the pink/red/white one? I absolutely am in love with that quilt!!!! I need one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm fairly sure that there is no pattern available. I think that these are designed by the maker.
