My DH and I were able to spend one day at the Paducah Show. I had never been and thoroughly enjoyed it even though we didn't get to see it all. Although we have many pictures, I am going to try to pick out the ones that amazed us.
There were so many more I wanted to post but DH said I should leave some for others to post. This was about 1/50th of the quilts that were there. Hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Beautiful quilts, thanks. Don't think I will have that much talent much less patience.

The first pic was one of my fav's as well!! The gold couching was to die for.

That was BTW "Summer Wine" entered in Large Wall Quilts by Kenneth Berg and Joyce Ross of WA.

I loved "On my bed" but I found I could not photograph it. I know this is going to sound silly but ... it was so real looking and with the name of "on my bed" I felt like a voyeur! I felt like an invader in this mans bedroom. Not a bad place to be I suppose as he is a handsome fellow, but I'm a happily married woman :)

sory , but you should see the position I am in to type!!

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 05-01-2011 06:34 AM

Quilts like these just boggle my mind. What I do is quilting. That stuff is art that just happens to be a quilt. It is incredible. I can't imagine ever having enough talent to even think up the ideas for those things much less make them.

Thank you for sharing.

Claddaughquilting 05-01-2011 06:36 AM

Thanks for sharing. These quilts are beautiful. Thank goodness for quilt show season!

twinkie 05-01-2011 06:42 AM

I have so many that I would have loved to post but wanted to give some others a chance to post. Didn't want to appear like a photography "hog". If no one else posts in a week, I will post some more. Glad you are enjoying

twinkie 05-01-2011 06:44 AM

I have the book as well but didn't think I would have enough space to put the makers name and origin of each quilt. I did put the quilt name on each one of them. As far as photographing "On my bed", I felt if he didn't want everyone in his bedroom, he shouldn't have entered the quilt. LOL Thanks for adding your information.

Ditto here - I have several pic's of some of the same quilts you posted. I might just upload all of mine to one of the picture websites - not sure yet. Or ... post 2-3 quilts a day??

Between the two of us we should be able to cover a good portion of the show!!

I took pictures of some of the same quilts that you posted. I can't image the time involved for these quilts to be completed. The show always has work from very talented quilters. I just wish I was one of them.

Jim's Gem 05-01-2011 11:57 AM

Stunning Quilts!!! Thank you for sharing them with us!!!

Paducah show is on my bucket list! I was in paducah last summer and visited Hancocks of Paducah and the quilt museum. That was amazing!

DAWNROBIN 05-01-2011 12:00 PM

Beautiful quilts. Thanks for sharing!

twinkie 05-01-2011 12:28 PM

My DH is not a quilter. He is a retired Nuclear Engineer. However, he was absolutely amazed with the quality of these quilts and the talent displayed. He took most of the pictures. I have a lot more but will wait a few days to post more.

twixbar 05-01-2011 12:55 PM

Gorgeous, thank-you for sharing.

JJean 05-01-2011 12:58 PM

Amazing!

QuiltingGrannie 05-01-2011 01:09 PM

The quilts are beautiful, but the pictures just don't do them justice! DH and I were there and I took lots of pics of them. But I'll let the others post their pics here.

The detail put into them was awesome.

We had a great time and were thankful the bad weather took a break while we were there.

ann clare 05-01-2011 01:46 PM

Stunning. Thanks for sharing.

Those are so beautiful. I can't imagine having the talent to make anything so wondrous.
