Barb did a beautiful job quilting it.

Material Girls of Shady Cove Quilt Show

 
I went to a local quilt show a few weekends ago. There were some beautiful quilts and the featured quilter had some some fantastic quilts displayed.

This quilt won Viewer's Choice last year...LOVE it.

Here are a few others I liked:

Love anything Kim Diehl...

I saw a tutorial for this quilt recently, I really liked this version.

I know I've mentioned this before, one of the things I really like about quilting is how two people can make the same quilt...

 
...and they will look totally different...

This is my type of wedding ring quilt - no curves!

The next few pictures are quilts made by the featured quilter...

And dorky me didn't get her name.

Her work is fantastic.

All of them had lots and lots of piecing.

The show also had a boutique with lots of hand made items.  I picked up this little quilt made with wonderful fall colored homespuns for $10!

 My mom and I went to a locally produced play called Quilters. They used quilt block names to tell the story of the life and hardships of pioneer women in the midwest.

Before I moved here I picked up three quilts from my longarm quilter, I finally got the binding added to one. It is officially finished!

 My mom kinda sorta lives in the booneys. This buck has been following and chasing the little doe for days.

I've also been making a few more of my trinket boxes for a craft fair coming up this weekend. I've already sold one.

I'm hoping this coming week will be a little quieter than the last few so I can get some serious sewing done.
 
  

PIQF

 
Warning: lot of pictures.

The Pacific International Quilt Show in Santa Clara, CA this year was great for quilts, not so much for vendors. I don't know if it is because this show is just before Fall quilt market or what, but vendor wise there was nothing new or exciting...or maybe I'm just jaded or have way too much stash (probably both).  I didn't but any fabric, but did buy two new patterns.

BUT the quilts were great. Here are a few of my favorites:

The flowers in this quilt were embroidered and crocheted or tatted. Beautiful.

Loved the quilting in this modern quilt.

The weasel was adorable and had lots of texture.

This quilt is for Rose; a new layout for crumb blocks. Loved the colors.

I texted a picture of the pirate quilt to a friend who's youngest son loves everything pirates. He was a pirate last year for Halloween and a zombie pirate this year. :o)

If I remember correctly the bow ties were two inch blocks.

Loved the details of this medallion quilt.
 

This quilt was my favorite.

The fabric was a waxed linen.

It looked like carved Alabaster.

Loved the details of this old house.

I want to make this quilt.

Even the borders were pieced blocks.

Two fabrics and threadplay. Another favorite.

Fun modern quilt. I really liked the colors and the quilting.

As always it was a fun day spent with quilts and friends.

Next week I'll show some pictures of the quilts from the Material Girls of Shady Cove quilt show.
