The Hemet Quilt Show 2013…continued…

Now…where was I?  Ahhh..yes, the Hemet Quilt Show!!  I believe I was going to start off by showing you some of the spectacular quilts at this show!  They were amazing! 

There were a ton of them and I didn’t take pictures of ALL of them…just the ones that I liked and believe me, there were lots of those!   So you better re-fill that coffee mug and settle back!  This is one prolific Quilting Guild!

I’m starting off with this quilt as it was clearly made for a child…it’s a Cranapple Hill design, called Snowmen A-Z and is usually done in one colour way… red or blue.  It was nice to see it done in a totally different scheme…fit for a child to love and cherish! (it was folded and hung over something so this is not a great picture but you get the idea.)

Anything with a gingerbread man ALWAYS catches my attention!

This was a very sweet wool applique onto cotton.  Just lovely and the judges agreed!

This one is worthy of some close-ups!

Yowzers!  Magnificent doesn’t do this one justice!

Loved this scrappy pineapple quilt!

A sweet signature  quilt…

This one was a jaw dropper too!

Loved this small Kim Diehl Quilt…beautifully done!

I haven’t seen this one before…check out the centre snowman with the bandaids on his nose!!

Just feast your eyes on this wee small Sun Bonnet Sue quilt…see the clothes peg for a scale reference…those blocks were SMALL!

I LOVED this one…so simple and elegant!!

And read how it was made!  How cool is that!!

Here’s a close-up…lovely quilting too!

A lovely sampler…

This small long narrow quilt was exquisite!  The pattern was taken from a Japanese magazine.

An Edyta Sitar Quilt from ‘Laundry Basket Quilts’!  So nice to get up close and personal to one of her quilts!!  Took my breath away!

Another beauty!

Ahhh beautiful baskets…but it was the border on this one that I loved!!  I took a close-up of it but it was too blurry to show!!  I hope you can see what the quilter did..she used the vine to divide the colour ways…and it just popped this whole quilt!

Throughout the quilts were little displays of antique quilts…this old Dresden Quilt was cut up (yikes!) and then covered this dressmaker’s form!  I guess if your quilt is full of holes this would be a great way to selvage the good pieces!

             

Here’s a better shot of the actual quilt…

And look at this doll made from an old double wedding quilt…sweet way to selvage grandma’s quilt!

I will stop here…my computer will explode if I try to post anymore!  So be patient… you will have to wait till tomorrow for the rest!  Can you stand it??

I hope you are enjoying the show as much as we did!  Because we drove ourselves this year, we were able to wonder around the quilts and take the time to REALLY enjoy and appreciate them!

Same time tomorrow??  See you then!
Have a SUNNY Sunday and Happy Quilting!
