I'm going to get a little ahead of myself...

And tell you this one was at the top of the list for my favorite at the quilt show. This was included in a special exhibit of Quilt Con quilts. Every time I walked by I saw something more I liked about it.
Funny, this ordinary quilt was at the top of my list for a favorite too. The collection of fabric made this one so unique! I loved the map too.(I have a little something for maps) Maybe it was a favorite because I can see my son liking this one after his travels.
This one of a kind quilt was made with baby clothes. So darn cute!
This was a quilt I saw at a show and do not know who made it or how to make it- I've had many people ask. I KNOW NOTHING!
The Stitchin Post had an exhibit of Kona color of the year. The yellow was certainly unusual and eye catching.
This one reminded me of our Medallion challenge theme for the month- a liberated style log cabin quilt. (must get busy on my challenge!)
Take care and enjoy your Wednesday, my friends.
I would assume that at least some of the flying geese blocks were paper pieced. Such an interesting design and though it looks simple, I think it must have been a bit of a challenge to make.
ReplyDeleteThat first quilt is awesome. So is the map quilt. Such unusual quilts, both of them, but fantastic. Thanks for sharing. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI think the first flying geese quilt would have been my favorite also. I keep going back to look at it, love everything about it. The baby clothes quilt was a great idea, very creative.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Definitely take a class with Laura if you get a chance. Just learning her technique will be very liberating for you.
ReplyDeletefun! hope you post more -
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I missed the show, but maybe next year. Thanks for showing some of the quilts!
ReplyDeleteThat first quilt is a doozy!
ReplyDeleteThat speaker must really love her blue chair. It would never have occurred to me to make a series of quilts in honor of my favorite piece of furniture. : )
You could make the map quilt with a little red French knot wherever you and your son have traveled.
Oh, my goodness, the baby clothes quilt is a hoot!
Just curious--Are there any traditional quilts at the show anymore?
Such fabulous quilts. That first one is truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat first quilt was made by Sarah Bond, a member of the Philly Modern Quilt Guild. She is a very talented lady who designs all of her own paper piecing patterns. Yes, these geese are paper pieced, with the piecing templates having been designed in Microsoft Word (!). You ought to see the stuff she's working on now!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for loving on my quilt, Release the Geese II! It was a delight to make. I love those Kokka fabrics. I didn't even know it had traveled to Sisters until folks started posting pictures of it there. I'm slbphilly on instagram if you want to see more. Working on the whole website/blog thing, but I'm kinda backed up. Thanks again, though. I really appreciate the shout out. (and, thanks Pat!)
ReplyDeleteWow, that flying geese quilt is amazing. I can't imagine that much precision! And, once again I find another thing we have in common. I love maps too, I can read them for hours. This quilt is wonderful. Thanks for sharing some of the fun!
ReplyDeleteRelease the Geese II, Sarah Bond's QuiltCon entry was one of my favs as well! Great graphics! The show was just amazing. Back home yesterday afternoon, still have lots as in 400+ of pix to go thru :0) So glad we got to meet and thanks you for the shout out on your previous blog post as well. Hugs!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos! I'll probably never be able to get to that show, so it's fun to see a bit of what it's like. I like the Gypsy Wife quilt with the light background; you can focus on the blocks, not the busy-ness.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how you can see the same quilt show and see and entirely different show.
ReplyDeleteI know at Sisters there are many nooks and crannies that I missed but I'm always amazed at the quilts that I missed but thanks to other blogs I get to see things I missed. I did notice a lot of the Gypsy Wife quilts but missed that one you share. Thanks Lori.
I took a couple classes with Laura and you are right...lots of fun! I did finish a small wall-hanging even though like you it isn't really my sort of quilting.
ReplyDeleteI like the gipsy quilt in the light colors. And many of the others are impressive. Greetings
ReplyDeleteLove the one with children's clothes... a friend had an idea for her daughter's pjs and was not a quilter, but she made it with a little help. I also made one first to make sure it would work. What fun! Thanks for posting these favorites!

I think the baby quilt was made by cutting out a bunch of squares an sewed them all together to look like diamonds then filled in on edges with half squares. The clothes line and clothes has been put on top of the quilt top not sure what she used for clothes pins unless she glues or tacked on real clothes pins.

ReplyDeleteThe Baby Quilt - I assume you are talking about how to put the baby clothes on. From what I've seen you would cut the back off, put stabilizer (like SF101) on the back then applique the clothes on and then quilt it. I've seen some that don't quilt the clothes but quilt around them. Pretty awesome quilt I'm going to tackle one for a friend. Hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew. LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your project!
