Once we had returned from our weekend getaway by Lake Michigan, it was September in full swing.
And that means the big quilt show in Madison, Wisconsin.
The quilts were extraordinary as usual: I did not have the time I usually have to peruse the exhibit at a slow pace, but did totally admire the work whether pieced or handwork. Such a great assortment of so many, many quilts.
Best of Show: the Lucy Boston paper piecing was so pretty, but the machine quilting in between was over the moon and back. Such beautiful quilted blocks and fillings.
This was my favorite with beautiful paper pieced designs.
Border of the quilt below: crystals on the outer edge and the circles were of the fabric design
But the outlining of the blocks and borders in black set it off. WOW!
Pretty warm colors
So unusual. Even the "beads" on the end were rolled fabric
There were 2 wool quilts of this design: the other made by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings.
both were gorgeous.
Such another beautiful quilt with interesting borders and exquisite machine quilting.
This was an unusual size but had incredible applique colored branches on this beautiful background. This quilter, Cathy Geier, previously did several quilts of her twin daughters over the years.
I could have spent another day, as I had several socializing visits. And I was so happy to see Nann again from https://withstringsattached.blogspot.com/. She was so talented to get 3 different quilts entered in the show.
I want to attend this quilt show someday. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
ReplyDeleteI only went to this show once when my daughter lived really close by. I had hoped to go to the show again over the years but was never there at the right time and now she no longer lives in WI so doubt I would be back. It was a very good show and I was impressed at how large it was.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see what quilts catch another viewer's eye. And it was so good to see you, too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous gallery of quilts. I'm always amazed at the brilliance of quilters.
