My Quilting Group went to Sitges Quilting Show which was absolutely amazing. It was held in 5 Halls, unfortunately we only made 4. Plus there were two Marquees full of goodies, machines and Long Arms.

Enjoy. I do have a lot so to help with the posting please don´t post till I have finished. Many thanks.

Wow! So many of them are quite different from what we see here...it's nice to see the variety and the cultural differences. I was going to tell you which I liked best but can't decide.

Thank you so much for sharing!

And I love the quote on your signature.

Thank you it was great fun to see so many things, its difficult where I am in Spain to get fabrics and it was a wonderful experience. My quote was sent to me by a friend when I lost my husband. Its beautiful. Elle

when I entered each individual hall, My camera gave up on me so there are more, but I will have to wait on my friends sending them to me. I have however got lots of Barcelona City which I will post later Elle

I love these quilts, thanks for sharing them. Once in a lifetime opportunity for us to see these!

Fantastic Elle, almost felt like I was there with you! Great pictures, looking forward to seeing the others soon :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Butterflyspain 03-19-2011 02:12 PM

Thanks Izy, we did have a laugh, it was great fun, glad you could share through these pics.

Thanks, Elle, these are great. I agree with the other posters, apart from the log cabins, they strike me as so different to what I usually see.

That lady doing the micro mini mitred patchwork deserves a medal for her work - I thought I had some patience, but not as much as she has.

Well I was with you in spirit, thought you having fun...wishing I was there boo hoo! NEXT time fingers crossed!

Amazing work!

pennyswings1 03-19-2011 02:17 PM

Trying to think of what to say that will do justice to each and everyone of these works of art. Magnificant is all that comes to mind and that seems so little to say. The different techniques, styles and colors leave me speechless. I stand in awe!
Thanks for sharing all these pictures Elle. You have become the download diva!

I had never seen that type of work done before and it was just so intricate. Many of the Spanish women do very intricate lace work so I guess they have loads of patience

Thanks Penny, I have some pictures of Barcelona City to post which will really interest you all but it will have to be in the morning now, too tired after my trip.

Oh yes, that would be great, I have started saving already. Japanese Fabric shop wonderful but expensive fabric was 19Euros a metre and upwards thats approx 26.90$ or 16.57 GBP

I love all the pieces, but I really love the log cabin quilt. I have seen lots, but never that arrangement. Thanks for sharing.
