Another Quilt Show! Yippee!

For the last two nights, I've been watching Bonnie Hunter on her live webcam of her sewing!  What a hoot!  And it only took me about an hour of watching before I said, "Hey......why am I not sewing, too?"  lol  Yeah, I can be pretty slow sometimes!  So I got out my 8-pointed star pieces, and did some handwork while watching her.  She's awesome in every way, and as she gets texts and emails, she keeps the 'conversation' going with all of her followers!  What fun!

Ok.....on with the show!  My friend Suzanne and I went to the World Quilt Show in Manchester, NH yesterday!  A last minute decision, and I'm so glad we went!  There were so many wonderful quilts there, and of course, I took a gazillion pics!  I'll probably show the pics over several posts (again)!

Enjoy!


There was a special exhibit "From Marble to Marvelous" where teachers and authors have created quilts inspired by the intricate floor tile designs in mostly European historical buildings.
 Quilt by Judy Mathieson

 Here are some pics of the inspiration floor tile work.



These patterns are so inspiring......I think I see a quilt or two in my future from these!

 I didn't get the names of the makers on these next few pics.....and the show book is a joke!  Sorry!








"The Dead Sea" by Gisha Wogier, Israel.



 "Mosaic Play" by Mitsuko Mirakami, Japan.

 Highly pieced hexagon shapes created this wonderful mosaic.



 "Edo Fukagawa, Old Tokyo in 17th Century" by Chieko Baba, Japan.



 "My Baltimore" by Carolyn Hudson, Canada.  Beautifully hand quilted.




 "Album of Roses" by Rita Verroca, US.  Really gorgeous!




 "A Truly Feathered Star" by Karen Sievert, US.  This took Best of Show.  It was lovely in every way.







 "Vintage Button Bouquet" by Linda M. Roy, US.  This was lovely, and beautifully hand quilted.
 The tiniest of hand quilted filler!

Very hard to get a good pic.....it was in a hallway, so you couldn't step back too far.

I loved the different appliqued designs in the big cirlces.  And each piece of applique is outlined to emphasize it.  Wonderful!



 "Reflections II" by Kathleen Burford, New Zealand.



 "Batik Beauty" by Catherine Young, New Zealand.



 "The Wrath of Poseidon" by Marilyn Belford, US.


 "Simply Celtic" by Anna Williams, New Zealand.  Gorgeous machine quilted feathers.


Hope you enjoyed the pics.....I'll have more in the next day or two.
