Quilt Show and Blog Hop....

I had intended to get the rest of these pictures up earlier in the week but the week sort of got away from me. Time goes all to fast these days. Also don't forget about the blog hop mentioned at the end of this post. Great stuff and lots of nice blogs to visit.

But onto the quilt show....

Who doesn't love an old quilt and a Grandmother's Flower Garden. I think if you click on the photo on the right to make it bigger you can read the tag.

Another GFG only this one was made recently with the old Flower Garden blocks. I like the traditional setting on the one above but I also like the fact they appliqued these blocks onto a square and then sewed them together. Also I love the shade of blue they used....

And another one in the traditional setting...

And finally this last one. This one was made with a 5 inch wedge ruler and then she appliqued the medallion onto the quilt background. It was for her husband who was a little bit Cherokee Indian, if I remember right. I thought it was very nicely done. You may be able to read the tag if you click on the photo. I really don't remember for sure what the tag said.

And don't forget to join in on the MN Quilt Designer's Blog Hop on Perkins Dry Good Blog. Lots of tutorials and give aways.

Ooops, I forgot to show this quilt. It is 2 quilts in one. They used a quilt for the batting inside and you can see a piece of it through the worn spot.......

It was a nice little quilt show and I will be sure and look for this one next year. Also one coming up in September that I want to be sure and go to if I can.

Rainy Saturday & A Quilt Show

Since it was going to rain again yesterday I thought I would take in a local quilt show. " Stars of the Prairie". There are so very many talented people around. I will probably have to post some of the other ones later. There were just too many to do this in one post.

This first one was made by the wonderful lady that owns the quilt shop that I go too. In fact, she had 2 quilts in the show. The other one I am putting just below this one. I believe this is the one that she made for her son, the other one was for her daughter and her daughter didn't like hers as much as the Wizard of Oz one. I like how she did the photos in a "twister" setting.

This one is just awesome.

The next one some of you may have seen. I think I remember it when it was on the front of Quilting and Embroidery magazine in the fall of 2004.

There were several art quilts. Some of them were amazing. The background on some of those was painted. They looked so much like a painting from a distance. The photo probably does not do them justice, bad photographer with a cheap camera never helps either.

This table runner was really nice. It was done in a 3D style. I have seen some done in magazines like this and I know they do the stump embroidery like this as well but I have never done any of it. It sure was pretty, I am only showing a portion of it here as it was rather long and I couldn't get a complete photo of it. But you get the idea.

I was quite taken with this lion quilt. Up close it was interesting to see how she did it. I hope you will all click on the photo and enlarge it so you can see it. At least I hope that will work.

I will post some more photos later in the week. There are at least 5 other quilts that I would like to share with all of you. Two or three Grandmother's Flower Garden, one with a round medallion in the center and an old quilt.

I am so glad that I went and enjoyed all the quilts I hope all of you enjoy the ones that I have posted here.........
