Nanaimo Quilt Show 2013…

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…

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!

  3. A 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!

  4. Looks 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.

  6. I 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.

    Thanks so much for sharing.

  7. 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.
