Quilts on the Wharf - My First Quilt Show
 
5 Attachment(s)
This quote that I saw here on QB started it all - 'If you can imagine it, you can make it happen'

And so yesterday I held my first outdoor-ish quilt show and despite a lot of hard work leading up to and on the day, it was a huge success and we had hundreds of people, quilters and non quilters come to browse.

Here are some of the photos taken of the displays of quilts. All quilts hung were made by me - with the exception of the online swap quilts from my dear QB friends - and about half were from my black/white/red 'moment'. The other quilts were fun quilts, word play quilts and two quilts I have made to donate to our local Cancer Council branch for display.

I am not sure if I appreciate your sense of color best, or your sense of humor best. Can't decide, so I pick both. Wish I could have attended your show.

Ooooh Lyn, your volume of quilt work is amazing! It is hard to choose a viewer's choice but my favorite quilt is the "cat's walking up to the stars".

MrsDerf 03-16-2014 06:24 AM

There aren't enough hours in my lifetime to complete this many quilts. You are amazing and so are your quilts.

Phenomenal!!!!!!!

You must be SO proud of all your work
.... and how exciting to see them all hanging together in a show!

So many are so unique with the utmost creativity!
Great idea to "engage: your viewers with your "guest book" quilt ... and the colour a heart!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...you are one busy quilter! All are really pretty, but I especially like Mrs. Scrapbag & the quilt that says Hope. I bet the show was quite a success!
