I used to go to this and had forgotten how beautiful they are. Isn't there a web site one can go to and see all of them.

OMG, I am speechless

Wow they are gorgeous. I liked them all so very pretty. Thanks for sharing since I am in Fl. confined to my recliner since I had foot surgery almost 3 wks ago. I think the plan is to take the stitches out Mon. but I still have to wear this wonderful black shoe and use a walker until who knows when so I really enjoyed those pics of the quilts since I can't sew either.

I love Willow Glen - shop there all the time. My home is across the street from Leigh High School if you know where that is. The show was great... Loved every minute, except when they said a small bottled water was $3. LOL. Had to quench the thirst!!! I was going to attach some photos, but my camera takes too much detail and the bytes are too many. In order to fix this, I have to crop and that would defeat the purpose. Did you notice the art quilt with the little girl reading in the woods? The quilting had a dog and an Indian and 2 full length people hugging. Just beautiful and you would not notice unless you got up close and personal. Also the one of a dog that was the creator's pet - all done in thread painting. Absolutely amazing!!! Oh so many pretties!!!

Oh my! What spectacular quilts! Thanks for sharing them!

Interesting that some of those same quilts were at the Columbus, Ohio quilt show in June also. I guess when they are that fabulous, they try to get as many people as possible to view them.

Wow, thanks for sharing the photos, they are beautiful

I went to a quilt show this weekend but it did not look anything look that. Beauitful quilts

llweezie 10-14-2012 05:22 AM

Amazing is right, they are absolutely beautiful !!

Murphy1 10-14-2012 06:27 AM

Yes i know where Leigh HS is. Next year we are going on Thursday as Amtrak is 1/2 the price of Friday travel, plus hopefully not quite as crowded. I keep looking at the few pictures I took and think about what I could try that would be similar to some. I love the art quilts and perhaps I will travel in that direction for awhile. Have a wonderful week.

These are beautiful!! I took a class from a woman who was teaching how to make the first one (can't recall her name at the moment). I didn't finish the quilt in the class and haven't taken it up since. I'm still a bit intimidated but I MUST get back to that quilt!! Wish you'd share more pictures from the show if you have some.

Pennyquilter88 10-14-2012 07:01 AM

What beautiful quilts you had at your show. Thanks for sharing.

Murphy1 10-14-2012 07:37 AM

I have made half of the Venice Rose as well. It need to finish it. I loved the show and only took a few pictures to inspire me or check out the details on how they were created. I am in love with the purple one that now I know is called the Bali Wedding Ring. I have seen lots of wedding ring quilts but this one with the star as well is over the top. I see you can buy the pattern on line. I will think about it, but first finish the Venice Rose.

Wow! Wow! Wow! is all I can say. Thanks sew much for sharing the pictures of the these quilts.

pdcakm 10-14-2012 08:02 AM

how i envy you, murphy1. could not make it this year so appreciate the pics.

the closest i got was a trip to some galleries during "second saturday". we went to see merle axelrad-sirlin at her gallery here in sacramento. she visited our guild last year. does large art installs. here is her web site http://www.axelradart.com/

fun to see her sitting at her work table with a gigantic art quilt and her regular domestic sewing machine.

see you next week murphy. we will create some of our own art work, right.

sunnymom 10-14-2012 08:03 AM

Thank you very much for sharing! Beautiful quilts and quilting.

dellareya 10-14-2012 08:44 AM

The photos are great, but when you are standing in front of these quilts it is truly breath taking. This was my second year of going. We only went one day and it was like running a race to to see all the quilts and get to some vendors. Of course the quilts are the stars of the show. The complex is huge and there is a lot of walking.
I did notice that prices are skyrocketing. Almost everything I bought last year are almost 5 to10% or higher this year. One pattern I bought last year for $9.00 was $12.00 this year. Yikes.
I also carry a empty water bottle and fill it from water fountains as I need it. We also carry in our own food. The food was very costly and we want to save our money for products. Even on Friday the event was very crowded.

Thank you for sharing the great pictures. I couldn't go this year and missed them. My favorite was the forest scene and the two poppy quilts. What marvelous quilts! an inspiration to everyone. Not that I plan to do them, you understand, but I do admire the quilts and you for sharing.
