Another quilt show - Part two

And so, here is the final installment of the Yorkshire Rose Quilt show.

I do like the American southwest and the art that comes from that area. This was another favourite of mine from the show.

I think this was started in a workshop. Black, white, a bit of yellow and my favourite blue.

Weaver Fever is what this pattern is called.

It is amazing what one can do with scraps. I really like this layout.

Bright colours with black to set them off.

This lady really liked making these little quilts.

They were really cute and would make a nice addition to a child's room.

This quilt came about from a crayon challenge. Each participant picked a crayon from a paper bag and was to create a quilted item using the name of the colour of the crayon as inspiration. Tropical Rain Forest was the colour of the crayon.

A bright New York Beauty.

This hand quilted, whole cloth quilt is by my friend Penny who made it as a wedding gift for a young lady to whom she was a nanny.
The backing is a tone on tone yellow.

A close-up of the quilting.

This was a little different.

As you can see, this one won a prize. It was part of a challenge.

An explanation of the quilt.

This was part of the same challenge. I'm sorry I didn't take a photo of the fabric that was to be used. I was in a bit of a time crunch.

Just a couple of fabrics makes a nice quilt.

Here's a close-up of the machine quilting. I wonder what's so antique about the star?

I love everything about this little quilt.

I should have taken a closer look at this one to see if those are in fact little tiny pieced triangles in the sashing.

A star within a star. The border print might have made a good selection for a One Block Wonder quilt.

I saw this quilt from afar and it wasn't until I got up close and really looked at it that I realized what it was.

I love the explanation for the title.

Another little quilt that caught my eye.

For you Jacobean quilt design fans. It is, of course, hand quilted.

I agree with her on the vibrant colours.

For those of you in love with hexagons. I almost forgot to photograph this one my first time viewing it but I spied it again on my way out.

I like the way she positioned the striped ones. That's a lot of machine quilting.




And now, if you were oooohing and ahhhhing the hand appliqued Jacobean quilt and/or the hand piecing of the hexagon quilt, feast your eyes on this one.

It is a log cabin quilt in the barn raising setting BUT...

it's all yo-yos.

That's it, that's all.

  4. Wonderful quilts! Thanks for sharing. I recognized the first one. It was taught by Lucy Ann at Quilters Garden a long time ago. I asked them to order me the pattern, but it never came. I still love it and want to do that quilt.
