Yesterday I went to the Hemet Quilt Show…and it was AWESOME!! It was a spur of the moment trip…one of those of trips where if we didn’t do it at that moment it wouldn’t happen!! I am SO happy we did it!
So over the hills…
..and out of desert we went…about a 40 minute drive to Hemet….
I went last year and LOVED their Show and this year it was even better! Their selection of vendors was wonderful…they had something for everyone. AND their quilts were stunning and DO-ABLE…if you know what I mean?
Let me show you what I am talking about…this is the quilt that greeted you at the front door…Oh, yeah!! Visually stunning!!..but DO-ABLE!
Wow! The quilter did an incredible job working with colours and fabrics! Just loved it!
There were tons of hand appliqued quilts…all gorgeous!
Loved the wonky churn dash…but then I love ALL churn dash quilts!
Loved the colours of this quilt!
In this quilt each block was put on point –loved how each block had the same colour palette. AND of course I am a sucker for baskets…
The workmanship on this quilt was incredible…now that I am a beginner appliquér I REALLY look at those stitches…in this case I couldn’t find any!
A little bit of whimsy!
And then this STUNNER!! Amazing!
I loved how they put this basket with the ‘Dear Jane’ book beside it!
I have seen this quilt on a lot of Blogs…this quilter added sparkly rhinestones to give it a Valentine’s Day flavour.
A homespun Gingerbread quilt…I can see a child loving this quilt…dragging it around and making tents out of it!! Yikes!
A scrappy quilt with hand embroidered centres!
This quilt made my heart skip a few beats…more on this quilt tomorrow!!
YIKES!! This is the Civil War quilt that Chris has been working on!! Absolutely STUNNING!! The quilter who made this quilt has left off the million half square triangles that go around it as a border. (this is what Chris has been working on!)
This quilt will be celebrated for generations!
The famous buggy barn CAT quilt!!
And finally the same little quilt that Gwen made….
But this one comes with the name of the PATTERN!! There were several of you who wanted the name and designer of this quilt…well just click on the card and you will get!
This was just a little snippet of the SHOW! Hope you liked it? I only had an hour ‘to do it’…I could have used TWO or more…maybe next year!!?
Tomorrow I will share more of this incredible QS!! Stay tuned..
Have a super Saturday and Happy Quilting!~P
Lots of awesome quilts!

ReplyDeleteAmazing quilt show. I was especially drawn to the wonky
ReplyDeleteChurn Dash and the Dear Jane great.
what a wonderful quilt show! You have me rememebering the great little shows I went to all over California when I lived out there. I always enjoyed the mix of vendors and as you do aptly pointed out "doable" quilts -- thanks for sharing this adventure!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful quilts! I love that first one and the last one too! So much talent! Thanks for sharing! :0)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the quilt show through your camera's "eye". I have to wait until March for the first Quilt show around here. Thanks for the 'eye candy' today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Next best thing to a quilt show is seeing someone's pics!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Some gorgeous quilts. I love the first one, with all those triangles. I could make one similar with my GO! Isosceles die. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteYou certainly clock up some miles! Great quilts.
ReplyDeleteA show worth the trip, lots of beautiful and fun pieces.
ReplyDeleteI love her quilt, that is really beautiful, but paper piecing, still makes no sense to me, lol.
