I was trying to get a good shot of the Post Office on top, but the boat on the bottom came out well. Both were amazing works of art.
Sorry, didn't see what coast this is. The crush of people made it hard to see the explanation sheet.
This quilt is exquisite, highlighted by 1,500 hand sewn crystal beads. All of trees are covered with "ice" which glistens and glitters.
Dimensions of the Lily: approximately 4 feet x 4 feet
Detail of a much larger redwood forest. Amazing technique.
Everyone needs a purple rhino, imho.
Very Painterly in fabric
The white vertical stripe in the middle is due to the placement of the floor light.
From the endangered species group; all were done by a quilt guild from Virginia.
A detail from a large quilt in the blue and white quilts group.
This is from a World War II group honoring those soldiers. There were lots of poppies, but I felt this was the most subtle. It was totally different from the rows of poppies with white cross grave markers in the middle of the poppies.
Again, crystal highlights. The picture does not come close to showing the beauty and craftsmanship of this quilt. It only got third place and everyone around me said they thought it was a first place entry.
Modified Log Cabin
Lee Anne and I had a great time. I am so happy she didn't mind driving and it was fun to have her with me to make our own critiques. It was held at the Ontario Convention Center which is huge. We had to park across the street and down the road a ways. We were glad for a shuttle bus, but little did we expect a full sized tour bus! We got there at about 10:30 a.m. and there were at least 39 women and one man as passengers on the shuttle. We left after
1 p.m. and there were far fewer people on the return to the lot. In fact, I think it was only four.
That's it. I just wanted to share some pictures of quilts with you. Have a wonderful week! Enjoy every minute! Cheers.
WOW Some talented people here. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
