More quilt show goodness

I have more quilts to show from the Hampton show; there were so many impressive quilts that I had to pick and choose!

First, a teaser!  There were a lot of fun quilts at the show this year...

Can you read this pictogram??

Gayle at Mangofeet commented that the pillow quilt I shared yesterday would be hard to walk away from, but this one was sheer genius!

This was a single quilt viewed from the left...

... and straight on!

There was a third view from the right, but as you can guess it was such a popular display that it was nearly impossible to get a good shot.

Nice lady...

What can I say but "Love it!"

Just look at that scalloped border...

I liked these birds!

These birds are definitely on my to-make list

Lynne over at Patchery Menagerie has a free tutorial on how she makes hers, find it here.






Modern is as modern does...

and so are pictorials...

three more that caught my attention...

Did you solve the puzzle??  (You can never have too much love, money, or chocolate)

That's it for now, I'd have taken more but my camera battery was exhausted!  Almost makes me miss loading up those AA batteries when I had the old camera.  Almost.  Sew forth and sew on til later!

Mid-Atlantic quilt show

Three things to be happy about:

(1) new ideas

(2) keeping your options open

(3) quilt shows

Hi everybody!  Last Saturday I went to the Mid-Atlantic quilt festival in Hampton, Virginia and I'm just now getting around to uploading the pictures.

But first I wanted to show you winter's last hurrah, as seen from my front porch.  We had a little snow last night, but at the time I took this picture it was already melting, yaaay!

In the convention center atrium Renea and I ran into the mayor of Hampton, Mayor George Wallace.  He was standing behind a desk, we had a question and we all just started talking.  Then he points to a picture on the desk and says "Oh by the way, that's me."  

So funny!  He's a very nice person, chatting away like an old friend.

And now, the quilts - this year they added a modern quilt category.  Some may be slightly out of focus, I was having camera issues.

who wouldn't love this art quilt, the pillows look ready to fall off the shelf!

So many art quilts, portrait quilts, modern quilts!  I still have more to share that I'll post tomorrow.

Sew forth and sew on til later...
