But the quilts were pretty, and I took some pictures of a few that caught my eye. I will start with one near the back row. This quilt is made by my cousin Marilyn, whom you have met here before. That link is one of several posts in which she is mentioned. Marilyn is such a talented quilter, and is prolific with applique! This Lori Holt 'Bee Happy' quilt is especially fun and Marilyn's work is neat as a pin, precise as can be.
This Texas Star quilt caught my eye because I have made one very similar to it. The first one is from the quilt show; the next one is mine. Click here to read about my finish from back in '16.
These next two pictures are the same pattern called In A Pickle. I know this quilt as Jan (of our Frankfort group) made one awhile back. Hers was a kit and made with batiks. I believe these are both batiks, as well. Notice the difference in backgrounds and in quilting styles. I dug around for Jan's version, which is pictured on display at her guild's quilt show.
This last photo is one that simply appealed to me. I think I am still very much enamored with the 9-patch quilt, and these tiny blocks are very, very attractive. And I really love that blue/lavender background.
A highlight of the show was getting to visit with vendors, one of which is Annette Williams, owner of Sewing the Good Life. She is so sweet, and always so friendly. I was glad for the chance to have an extended visit with her. She is quite talented and I love seeing her business growing so much.
Despite the horrible odor, I did enjoy the show, and guess what? There are two more quilt shows near here this summer. I look forward to attending them, too.
Happy Quilting, Friends!
that really wasn't nice of the school to plan to do two things at once - a show and resurfacing the floor in the gym. Surely from other times the floor has been resurfaced they knew how much it could smell. I feel for the vendors who would be there all day - I'm sure some of them must have had horrible headaches by time they were able to leave.
