I missed this year! The weather was only about 80 degrees, compared to others, that would classify as cool. Usually warmer, one yr I was there and it was around 100. :? NEED MORE PICTURE! please Or a link to your photo page? please |
thanks for sharing the pics
|
Thank you for posting them. I enjoyed them even saw one that would be a great way to do my nephew's quilt
|
Wow. Fabulous show. Thanks

What amazing quilts!

Nothing like seeing pics from a quilt show to make us feel that we are there. I love the details on the pine cones on the one your mother did on retreat. Lovely art quilts. Inspirational.
|
Thanks I wanna go to that show someday...
|
Thank you so much for taking us along with you to the Sisters Show. I also saw one that I would love to make. PS: The one that was like the quilt your Mom made from a retreat ..... was that a pattern and if so do you know what it was called? I love it!!!
|
Thanks for sharing your pictures and your "helper" does a great job.

I love the black, white and red one. Would like to find the pattern for that one...

nature's sample $15.50 for the pattern |
Thank you so much for sharing. It is a wonderful show, wish I had been able to go.
|
WOW, thanks for the eye candy! If I didn't love quilting so much, I'd throw in the towel after seeing such talent.
|
Thanks! I tried to go to that site but it came up as "domain name expired on 7/02/11 and is pending renewal or deletion". Interesting. However, with the name you gave, I did find it here.

Thank you for the photos. I loved the first one..being stuck in traffic. I sure would have liked to have seen the Mad Hatter's quilt display. I am kicking myself for not going. Thanks again for sharing with us.

I got one photo to come thru so far! This photo Linz83 posted already and is a much better photo but I wanted to reference to it. This group of quilts was from a book club in Portland, OR. It is called, Cover to Cover Book Club Quilters. They all read the same book, in this case it was 'Alice in Wonderland' and then interpret the book through a quilt. What a unique quilt/book club, right?! I spoke with the 'Lovely Miss Mad Hatter' for a few moments. The quilt she is standing in front of was her quilt. So many people were so enamored with this entire display of quilts. Perhaps one of our members here is a part of this group and could explain further.... but I believe their goal is to stretch as a quilter. This lovely lady explained she had never before done an 'art quilt' and was scared to try. I think she succeeded quite well!! As I mentioned before I will add to Linz83's photo repertoire.

They are all gorgeous, but my favorite is the fourth one. The green and pink one. I actually gasped when I saw it. I love that one.
