Being my first time at a quilt show, I went absolutely BONKERS!! I was able to take several (alright, alot) of pictures (with permission) and thought I'd share them with everyone. I way totally awestruck at some of the detail involved in these quilts and was even able to meet M'Liss Rae Hawley. For those of you who don't know who M'Liss is, she is the author of several quilting books.

It may take me a few minutes to download all the pics so please be patient. Enjoy the pics!

Wow! What beautiful quilts. Thanks so much for posting the pics. I don't know whether to be inspired or depressed. I could never do anything close to that kind of work. I loved them all-couldn't pick a favorite.

Love these...hae a question- the quilt with the batiks and dragonflies - it says Color by Hana or Color by Hand - it says kits available - do you know where to get those - I love that.

cherylynne 10-17-2010 07:41 PM

Just speechless here and in tears (happy tears).

Thanks for sharing - I missed it this year, but understand it was much smaller than usual. Don't want to rain on your parade, as I really enjoyed the pix, but your not supposed to take pictures of the quilts on display for judging. Oh well, oops. I did it the first time, too, only I got caught. The best quilt show to attend is the one at the Houston Convention Center. Normally, vendors go straight into Houston from Atlanta, but this year there is two weeks in between. Might have kept some vendors away.

The pic looks like Hana, but the vendor directory phamplet lists:
Color By Hand, 34 Biehl St., Newport KY (859)750-4287. Their email address is: [email protected]

Good luck!

Butterfly in the Round pattern is by Cheryl Phillips. I picked up this pattern from The Gypsy Quilter (thegypsyquilter.com) for $9.98 and it included an acrylic template.

Just for clarification, I only took pictures of the contest quilts AFTER the contest was over and the ribbons had been placed. The signs placed on the barrier tape said that pictures may be taken at this time for personal use. As for the other quilts, I asked permission from the vendors prior to taking pictures in their display. Believe me, I didn't want to upset anyone.
