My friend, Pat, and I were at the Cocheco Quilters Guild show last weekend. It's one of our favorite shows in the year, and these gals have been doing a show annually for 32 years! Wow! Amazing talent and energy from this group!
Here are just a few of my favorites.......
"Bigger Baltimore" by Carol Barstow. This quilt was first shown at a previous show, and now was the backdrop to the admissions table! Love it!
"Butterfly's Delight!" by Betty Jo Quinn.
"Pot Holder Quilt" by Lynette McCreary.
"Here Comes the Bride" by Susan Copp-Silva.
I didn't get the label on this one.....but I love how graphic it is!
"Prairie Flower" by Patience Dixon.
Again, I didn't get the label. The quilting was done in a woodgrain pattern.....very effective. I'm not usually a modern gal, but I love this!
"Imperfect Beauty" by Gladi Porsche. Absolutely stunning.....and the hand quilting was perfection!
"Mary's Glacier Star Quilt" by Nancy Starks-Cheney.
"Glorified Nine Patch" by Havrilla Stephens. Gorgeous!
"Transition and Union" by Mitzi Horne.
"Tropical Dream" by Penny St. Cyr. The wall hanging was made with all the left over scraps! Awesome!
"Twentieth Maine Dedication Quilt" by Louise Ford.
"Freedom Rings" by Havrilla Stephens.
"1930's Remembered" by Patricia Howlin.
"Labyrinth Walk" by Debbie Shepard.
"Baskets in the Briars" by Susan Copp-Silva.
"Going Dotty" by Nancy Henry.
"Civil War Tribute" by Cindy McKenna.
"My Quilting Journey" by Lorraine Hall. A signature quilt, with names of local, national and international quilters she has taken classes from or worked with in her 25 years of quilting. Awesome!
"Trio of Doll Quilts #2: Four Patch" by Gladi Porsche.
"Trio of Doll Quilts #2: Hexagon Fun" by Gladi Porsche.
"Trio of Doll Quilts #2: Charmed Circles" by Gladi Porsche.
And just in case you thought I've been just sitting around doing nothing.......I finished putting together my red and white tumblers top! Woohoo! It was my leader/ender project for the last couple of quilts, but it was time to focus on it......and I love how it turned out! AND I managed to use up a BUNCH of reds and whites that were in the way! Everything went into this, except my repros!
Tumblers finish at 2.5" tall with 1" across the top. Measures 90x75.
I'll have more pics of the quilt show......in my next post!
Enjoy your weekend!

Your tumbler quilt is fantastic. What an awesome collection of fabrics. I love red and white quilts. Thanks for sharing a diverse and lovely quilt show. And to think, there are still people who don't consider quilts as "art"
ReplyDeleteWow - I love your tumblers top ! The colour is wonderful and the way you have mixed florals, plaids and stripes adds lots of interest. Thanks for all the quilt pics - some amazing ones there.

Your red and white tumblers are amazing!!!!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to that Here Comes the Bride quilt ... a Google search didn't come up with a pattern. :-( I would love to make a quilt using that pattern. Anyone with any ideas of other more common names for this pattern?
