I promised you quilts today…lots and lots of quilts…They are all from the Nanaimo Guilds Quilt Show, which we went to on Friday…SEW… pour yourself a coffee and put your feet up…you are in for a treat!
I’m not really into ‘art quilts’ but this one sure caught my eye! It was so detailed…I wish you could see the man’s hair. It was made out of a coarse thread and REALLY looked like it was wind tossed…and the waves on the water were very realistic …yup..I really liked this quilt! Do you see how she used the photo as an example…
I even enjoyed Maggie’s write up!!
This one is called ‘Quiet Village’ from a McCall’s Quilting Magazine…very pretty! It was the border that really made this quilt come to life!
This was one of my favourites in the show…It is from Quiltmania Magazine #82! Loved it!
You NEED to get up-close and personal …
I enjoyed seeing this stunner in person as I have seen it on several blogs!!
And this sweet wall hanging…a Japanese twist on Sunbonnet Sue. 
Scrappy Twins..both were lovely!
There were lots of Crabapple Hill quilts…this one is waiting on my ‘To-Do List’!
Also loved this one too…yikes! It’s called ‘Snowdays’…and it’s calling my name!
A sweet scrap happy chicken quilt…
A wonderful ‘Laundry Basket’ quilt…
Loved the play of colours in this scrappy quilt.
A Cheri Payne quilt…sweet!
Another MAGNIFICENT ‘Laundry Basket’ quilt! Yowzers but there were a lot of wee pieces! My hat is off to this quilter!
This small quilt caught my attentions…made with fabrics from India that were hand dyed…
Here’s the written info on this quilt…love the way the fabric takes centre stage in this quilt!
And a close-up…
This quilt was pretty…
…and the quilting bumped it up several notches!
Loved this quilt…another one that I HAVE to do!
I enjoy seeing ANYTHING ‘Rouennerie’ by French General!
Another Crabapple Hill design…this one called ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’!
Yikes…we are only half finished the show and just look at how many quilts I have shown you!! Tomorrow is another day! Hope you are up for it!?
Thanks for coming along…see you tomorrow!! :~P
Really wonderful quilt show and lots of diversity.
ReplyDeleteLove the first one and how she did the clothes so they look natural.

Thank you for sharing :o)
ReplyDeleteA blog buddy and myself have been working on Snow Days since 2011... lol! She's a lot closer to finished than I am! ;-) The "Magnificent Laundry Basket Quilt" you have pictured is called Spring Bouquet... the applique pieces come as laser pre-cuts... yep... I have that kit too! Love it all!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great quilt show. Thanks for showing all those lovely photos... I recognise more than quilt there that I have the pattern for. Seeing them made is giving me the itch to stitch.
ReplyDeleteWhat a display of quilts! The first one was amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have done some of those quilts so it was great to see them (by someone else) quilted and done.. never are there 2 the same due to the variety of our tastes.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing.
Did you have to ride the ferry to get to the quilt show or was it more local? Lots of eye candy. The Quiltmania quilt is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteOh my....beautiful Paulette!!
