Quilt Show! (part three)


I spent over an hour at the quilt show and enjoyed every minute.  By going late in the afternoon, there were fewer people there....  I'm not too fond of crowds.

This quilt won the long-arm quilting ribbon... and deservedly so!


The quilting on "Billy's Bluebirds," by Ellene M. Place, exerted a magnetic force...  you just had to get closer....


...and closer for a better look!


While not spectacular, "Wedding Quilt" by Sandra Zimmer was lovely with its use of neutrals...


There were so many neutral prints, I just had to study them all...

 


There were a few vendors along the outer walls of the Fair Barn and I behaved myself quite well, I thought...   a few red and blue FQs...

 
 ...a few half-yard cuts...



...and a running 1/4 yard of a dark navy batik with kitties!



Did I mention these were all "on sale"...  


One last photo of the Fair Barn's ceiling...  



 ....hope you enjoyed the show!

  1. Looks like such an amazing place to hold a show. And you were VERY restrained with the shopping! I esp. love the little birdhouses. :)

  6. The quilting on that first quilt was jaw-dropping. I guess if you are quilting for show these days that is what you have to do to catch the judges eyes.
    Looks like a cool venue for a quilt show.
    I've never seen anything like that kitty batik--very fun!
