These are in no particular order. I think I took a photo of this one because of all the colour. The black around each block sets them off nicely.
I noticed that there were several quilts with African themes.
This was cute - that's why I took a photo of it.
Wonderful colours.
Click on any of these photos to get a better view and hopefully, you can read the little blurb. This was made in memory of a dad using his linen hankies, ties and trousers.
Please excuse the lighting on some of these photos. While the venue was adequately lit, there were huge windows with lots of daylight pouring through - hence the shadows.
Beautiful applique with lots and lots of hand applique. Click on the photo to see it up close.
My friend Penny made this and she is a hand quilter - no machines for her. Sorry for the blurriness. I was in a bit of a hurry because there were people in the way.
I don't know why I liked this quilt.
It was hand appliqued and hand quilted. I think it was these little birds that I liked. They were different from other appliqued birds I had seen in quilts.
Another colourful, scrappy quilt. Prints with solids.
This was an unusual quilt. At first one would think that the middle is a pieced block but if you look carefully, it is a printed fabric that looks pieced.
This one was made with snippets of fabric held together under netting.
Bamboo always seems peaceful. Great colours.
Stunning One Block Wonder quilt. It would have been nice to see the original fabric.
Another One Block Wonder. Sorry for the blurry photo.
Another African-themed quilt.
Lots of lighthouses. This was machine quilted. I liked the way she added the rocks and trees into the sashing in the central part which made it seem as if they were all together in one place.
This was a fun quilt. I thought of making one of these but so far, it's only a thought. The thong parts are 3D.
Something different for a nine-patch - with elephant fabric.
A 3D pinwheel quilt.

A teen tiny Christmas quilt.
I took this photo for my daughter. She likes Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Bill (or Fisherman Fred or whatever.)
Another applique quilt but this one is machine quilted.
And I leave you today with one of my favourites. It's little but I like it.
Part 2 tomorrow.
I really want to come to your shows, lol! Those quilts are wonderful. I couldn't pick a favorite from this post. But that tulip quilt from your last post is AWESOME! I dearly love it!
