Wanted to share some favorite pics from our local quilt show this past weekend. Ah yes, quilt p0rn!! I always love seeing what quilters everywhere are up to. Hope all of you feel the same. I have some detail shots, but not enough.
This first one is the best feedsack-type quilt I've ever seen, hands-down. It made me want to go shopping for thirties-type fabrics and few things have ever made me feel that way before.
So sparkly!
This was a favorite with all my friends and with me too. VERY fun:
Happy, happy:
This next quilt was made by Carol Butzke, one of the judges of the show. Pretty much sublime:
The math involved in this one makes the head swim but I love it:
This quilter, Susan Wojciechowski of Milwaukee, had several quilts in the show. I'm a big fan. A TOTAL wow:
This next one, tapping into an admirable collection of African fabrics, had amazing quilting that followed the pattern in the background fabric. Sorry I don't have a detail shot.
Now for the Renee section of the post. This is a BOM:
Renee's Cabin Tracks. She miscounted and made twice the blocks needed for this quilt, and that's one heck of a lot of sewing. So, she made two of these:
Sweet Heart applique:
Renee. If she only had a blog...
Happy April 1 to all!

Very cool! I just took a class in using black, white, and color -- so much fun! And the results can be very striking. I love the fun flowers quilt, and that mariner's compass one is awesome. Thanks for posting so many.
Wow!! So beautiful, and so different from each other. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Thankyou so much for showing all these stunning quilts!
I will just slink away quietly & hide my paltry quilts.
My daughter pointed out to me, that she would be too scared to use any of those, though, whereas she enjoys mine to the full! So I suppose there is a place for them all.
Oh boy I'm going to be coming back time and time again for days on end to just to savor each one!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness- you had me drooling looking at all these gorgeous quilts. You have a bunch of very talented quilters in your midst. Wow!
I think when I went to our local quilt shows, I only looked and took photos of the ones I could recreate, if I wanted to.
Umm...am I the only one who got RickRolled? (Should have red the date on the post.)
Kathie, I have been viewing and loving this blog for more than a year--beautifully written and so inspiring. It's a real treat. Thanks, I appreciate the eye candy.
