Oh, wow, just wow. That cat looked so real!

Stunning interpretations of the artists styles and all the other creative pieces. Wonderful.
peace

Thanks so much for posting these, it would be so wonderful to be able to see every quilt show in person! Just the thought of it gives me chills.

Wow, two fantastic quilt shows in one day. Thank you for letting us see them.

That is because it is a photograph printed on to the fabric. The technique used is to print a photo onto the fabric then thread paint over it. Basically no applique is involved it is all thread painting. I attended a seminar at MQX by Jennifer Day who does this technique. I saw that quilt at Syracuse.

Humbling...

All so amazing!...especially the flowers! Thanks for sharing.

Oh! I just love seeing these quilts! Some people have so much talent and creativity that it just amazes me.

I am in awe! Thank you so much for sharing.

Just stunning quilts!

such great talent thanks for sharing nice to see other states in what they do

Loved your show! Thank you for sharing!

Wow! thank you so much for posting--just amazing quilts!

Took the words right out of my mouth...it makes me realize how much I have to learn in the quilting world.

OMG they are some of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen. So many talented quilters. Thanks for sharing.

Mind-blowing!

Thank you for taking the time to share with us. I think the quilts featuring well known and loved works is simply spectacular and makes such a wonderful group. Such inspiration!

Thanks for sharing your pictures. The quilts are beautiful!

Wowzee - those are way above my skill level. Beautiful to see. Thanks for sharing.

I love those puppies. Their faces are SO expressive.

Those awesome thread/fabric pieces need a "name" other than "quilt". In my mind quilt means something to snuggle/keep warm under on a bed/ couch, etc. these, although sandwiched together are so much different, they should have another title.....
Each one shown is so spectacular in itself, like a painting, it is its own thing........

You are exactly right - these are not "quilts" - they are paintings done with fabric and thread. My DD lives in Paducah and we go to the AQS Quilt Show every April and if it wasn't for her wanting to go to the actual show, I would not go to the show but go to the Vendors all over town and skip the show. I go home so depressed because my quilts are just bed quilts - not wall quilts or whatever they call them.

Oh! What beautiful quilts. Nice way to relax tonight.

But your quilts get used! I really enjoyed the show but do wonder how many of the show quilts are used on the bed or sofa. I sent a quilt to an aunt who is going through chemo & know she will use it if needed. Brought a quilt with me to MI for an uncle who had a stroke 1 1/2 yrs ago & is still recovering. Just the Amazing Grace panel + borders so it covers in a chair. My aunt thought it should hang on the wall & I told her it had to be used. That is what all my quilts are for, I can make more.
