This is my vote for best in show. A Bargello type of quilt with really well done applique....and stunning on black. It really needed to be opened completely but their racks were just a tad too small. Not a problem, it still showed beautifully.
This quilt is Buzz Saw and no matter how you look at it, it shows great. I love quilts with points that "buzz". Plus I liked the combination of colours...nicely done, wouldn't you say?
I think this is an Art to Heart quilt. There were three of them in the whole show. This one was in the bed sized quilts...the others were in the second part of the show. This show was in Woodstock, an historic town with lots of beautiful, old Victorian style homes. This part of the show was held in a Service Club across the street from the Connell House, where the second part of the show was held.. some of which is following...
This piece just hollered my name. I'm not sure if it is an antique, because there were lots of beautiful old quilts to see and this one is either quite old or treated to look old. Either way, I loved it and am now inspired to give it a try. I know how to spackle the background and DH can make me a shadow box frame. Miniature log cabin, here I come.
This crazy quilt tea cozy does not show as well in the picture as it actually does. The satins, velvets and brocades are so sumptious
and rich. Another one of those "Things I just have to do!"
This pillow was cute and very interesting... A pillow by itself and the cover was buttoned around it. I liked the saying on it plus the embroidery and applique.
I could certainly see it as a seasonal thing.Oh, I am soooo motivated.This miniature was extremely well done. I couldn't get close enough to read the info about it. This beautiful old house was jam packed with quilters and quilty things. If you got a chance for a quick picture, you had to take it. Remember , I was time constricted as we were on a schedule. We were warned that the walk home was a long one. I honestly don't think they would have left without me, but I wasn't about to put it to the test.
opened up completely to see how it was done. It's hard to see the painted picture with the angle of light on it but it is a picture of fiddleheads and great delicacy locally...a wonderful veggie. Well that's all the pictures of the show I managed to get. There was so much more to see...eye candy galore. A lot it was unable to be photographed since space was at a premium..however, it was wonderful....

Well Gail; it looks like you had a great day...lovely work in the pics...speaking of fiddleheads; we picked on Friday evening; they taste sooooo good. Thanks for sharing with us....beautiful.
I loved looking at your pictures. Thanks for showing us.
I'm glad you liked my "Between the Crosses". Each grave was quilted with the outline of a body and tiny red beads represent the poppies on the graves. It gives a sense of the anonymity of the vast numbers of graves in the military cemetaries, and the huge number of people lost in wars.
It's dedicated to my uncle who was lost in the sinking of HMCS Athabaskan - April 29, 1944 - in the English Channel.
Hi Gail...I was chatting with a lady from your guild today; Joan Smith. I was in to the shop and bought one of her patterns for a pillow....we just got to talking....and before you know it...I mentioned you and the Woodstock show...well you know how long I stayed then...lol....was a nice chat; Joan is very nice....and she is still amazed with your work...
What a nice time you must have had! Thank you for sharing these great quilts with us :)
