My first night in Houston I was invited to an impromptu old fashioned bed turning in Linda and Marie's hotel room. I met Linda Collins in NYC for the Infinite Variety quilt show and we've followed each other with social media for some time now. It really didn't feel like it had been 5 years since that show!
Funny, Linda is a big fan of madder in quilts and I got to see such a variety! It was great after seeing the fun Quilters Madder quilts.
Time for a close up. Charming and so humble!
What a fun block and great setting!
I'm a fan of the half blocks too!
Here is Linda pointing out so many charming features.
More madders!
Good way to use up some orphan blocks and make your quilt bigger.
Thank you Linda for your generosity and time to show us your quilts up close and personal!
Ooooooo, ahhhhhhh! I'd love to make very one of those!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs!
Linda's quilts are amazing. Happy to hear that you got to see them in person. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love seeing these. THANKS for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this -- so many beauties to look at! Wendy at piecefulthoughts@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful private show for you and Bonnie! Thanks for sharing some wonderful photos from it! And, again, it was great meeting you in person!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing group of quilts. That multi armed Dresden sun block blew me away, how lucky were you to enjoy these in person. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a collection, each is more interesting and beautiful than the next. Great photos, really enjoy the close ups. Doesn t that rather ''wonky'' elongated Stars look modern! Thanks for a great show, Lori.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda for the mini quilt show. Thank you Lori for sharing with us. So many pretty little blocks and fabrics. My head is spinning but I totally enjoyed this. Back to the top I go to view all this again. ;^)
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you for keeping us inspired
ReplyDeleteI met up with Linda last year at the big quilt show in Melbourne and will see here again next week in Shipshewana for a public viewing of her quilts. I can hardly wait. We will be hand piecing that incredible Goose Tracks pattern with her new templates
ReplyDeleteLoved this chance to see up close details of Linda's quilts :0)
ReplyDeleteI like the Courthouse Steps quilt with all the madders. If I made one similar, I would probably be the only one in my family who would like it.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the antique quilts, were you inspired to do anything similar?
And it does not hardly seem possible that it is been five years since the red & white exhibition.
So lovely to see my friend Linda sharing her gorgeous antique quilts with you.. lots of yummy madders everywhere.. love, love!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that was really fun! What beauties and I love the hand quilting so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing......oh what wonders do you have next to show us?
Happy Sewing
Really beautiful quilts, love the fabrics and prints.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I love looking at old quilts and all of the individual fabrics. I'm always amazed at how many have been reproduced, and usually see a few that I WISH someone would reproduce! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these lovely quilts. This is something I'm needing these days when the world seems to have turned upside down.
