Faithful Circle guild held their show in Illinois this weekend. I took some pic's, not a lot as my camera ran out of battery.

This guild was the 1st place winner in the "group quilt" category this year in Paducah. They were raffeling off the winning quilt!!

I visited the vendors but all I came home with was a loaf of yummy Zucchini bread from their bake sale!!

Will take me a while to up-load pic's. Bear with me.

One of the things they did was a "Featured Quilter". I'm embarrased to say I cannot remember her name!! She hand pieces and hand quilts. She had about a dozen quilts on display, and my camera ran out of gas :)

First up - 2 quilts from the Featured Quilter

OK - all pic's posted now. Enjoy!!

I'm trying to find out. There were a few others in the show, same pattern, that were being judged. I noticed later in the "craft" area that the pattern was for sale and I *believe* the pattern was made and being sold by one of the members. I think the pattern name was "Jacks" something.

It looks like 9 patches with a triangle next to each to set it off kilter then they're all joined with a 6 sided piece in the center.

The first one's "block" is made of six 9 patches, one on each edge of a large hexagon. There's an equilateral triangle between the 9 patches. That's all!

These are really lovely quilts! Thank you for sharing them with us, wish we could have gone with you to see them close up and personal. :-)

Beautiful quilts. Thank you so much for posting them

Those are some really unique quilts. I love it when a show has other than standard styled quilts. Thanks for sharing. :)

What a terrific show. Your picks for posting are great quilts. All of them are great. Thank you.

Gorgeous, fabulous, thanks so much!!!

Wonderful! Thanks for taking the time to post all those pics. I enjoyed your comments too!

DOH!! What a dunce. I just noticed that the first "Log Cabin" that I posted (with the stunning quilting) ISN'T a log cabin ... it's just 1/2 square triangles!!

I think the layout stumped me temporarily :)

also ... forgot to mention. The quilt with all the diamonds. Some of the fabric in there were wovens from Peru. They were stunning!!

Where in Illinois was this show? Looks like it was a good one. Thanks for posting the photos. There's a show this weekend in Pekin, IL, put on by the Gems of the Prairie guild in Peoria...it ought to be a good show as well!

beautiful quilts thanks for sharing

I agree, but it may be easier to construct if you use 6 equilateral trianges instead of the hexagon. Would be the same size equilateral triangle as the single one.

Wow...what lovelies!

Wow!! I could tell you were in awe too. Beautiful all of them!!

WOW! They are all so lovely. I enjoyed this little trip to a quilt show. I can't get to as many as I would like, so I am easily pacified by those of you that go and share your pics. Thank you!

Beautiful quilts all, but the quilting on that first Log Cabin is absolutely phenomenal!!!

DARN IT ... I was thinking it was next weekend .... And I really wanted to go ... It is so close to my house.... Thanks so much for taking the time to share the photos.

Yes, stunning! Apparently some quilters either went to pieces or were quite the cut-ups! I can't imagine doing scrappies with such little pieces. (Strips, yes.) Amazing quilts! Thanks for sharing.

#1,I think, is called Jack's Chain. I have made one with 1 in squares and the triangle between the little 9-patches in pastel plains instead of the whiite on the one shown.

Awesome quilts. Looks like it was a great show.

Thank you for taking the time to post these wonderful pictures. I love the four-patch and especially the nine-patch with this innovative setting.

Looks like it was a great show. Thanks for the "virtual" quilt show!

Beautiful quilts, thanks for sharing!

Those are some amazing quilts

My friend Sharon made several of these quilts-- Omigosh, tumbler and selvedge quilts... Isn't she good!!

Thanks for sharing, they are so beautiful.

I loved that quilting on the Log Cabin and the minis are just gorgeous! All are beautiful! Thanks for the tour!

Thank you so much they are all beautiful my fave is the last one.

Thanks so much for sharing. I enjoyed them.

These are beautiful quilts. The first one I have a pattern for. I have never seen it in color. It's so much prettier then I would have thought.Thanks for the show.

Oh, my gosh, oh my gosh--all those tiny pieces

wow...I am happy if my rail fence looks good.....the workmanship on these quilts takes my breath away....my dream ..... is to some day make a quilt that will be accepted in a quilt show.... thank you for posting the pictures...

WOW! A tiny tumbler!! I never thought of making mini tumblers! That is so cool! ---all of the quilts are beautiful! Lots of talent there. Thanks for sharing!
