Another quilt show Part 2

I am hoping to get the rest of the photos in this blog post. I hope you like the show. I did.

There is just something special about applique quilts.

Here's the blurb for it.

Applique and piecing. Something a little different.

This is another pattern by Country Creations. Apparently it is "not a difficult quilt [to make] but very time consuming."

The blurb.

A batik diamond quilt. Simple in design but very effective.

I do like southwest themed quilts.

 More batiks but with applique this time.

A fun, bright crazy quilt.

 Something a little different using just a few colours.

Bargello done with just squares.

Fowl anyone?

A lot of love went into this.

Look at all those triangles.

I almost missed this one because it was so high up. I'm not very tall so it's hard to take shots that are above my head.

Positive/negative in scraps.

Framed maple leaves. An appropriate fall quilt.

Another quilt with a limited colour palette but quite effective.

Tree of life and if I'm not mistaken, it is hand quilted. Nicely done in the border.

Ah yes, this one. The maker made it for her mother.

And here's the last quilt. Another quilt pattern by Harebrained Happenings.

The blurb - and look, it's hand quilted. It's such a popular pattern that it was also made as a second prize in the raffle.

I do hope you all enjoyed the quilt show. I only bought one small kit and I'll show it to you later.

One more quilt show

This time around it was the Rouge Valley Quilt Show.

 This quilt caught my eye.

 

Here's the info on the quilt. 

 This is just such a happy, bright quilt. The pattern is by Harebrained Happenings.

The maker of this quilt liked the angel fabric and wanted it to be a feature in the quilt design.

Same design but in blues.

A wonderful quilt design in blue. Anyone know the pattern name?

 A log cabin with a difference.

Double nine patch. Great, colourful quilt.

Trip around the world variation.

What a great layout.

One way to use up your stash - cut it into strips and start sewing.

Baby Wave. The maker said that it was an easy quilt to put together.

A four patch that was made to show off the hockey fabric.

Another Harebrained Happenings pattern. I just had to take a photo of it. Look at the hubcaps. There is a Doggy Daycare pattern too.

I do like silhouette patterns. It's a Country Creations pattern.

Some of the quilts were hung so high up that it was hard to view them.

What a simple but effective pattern.

 An eye spy quilt.

I've always been interested in fashion and this quilt just had to be photographed.
Note: Allie informed me that the pattern is in this book.

A really great way to lay out a sampler.

Wonderful movement in this.

I do like plaid quilt patterns.

 Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

A Bear's Paw pattern done quite differently.

For those of you who are making the Over the Hill pattern, here's one in brown.

The blurb for it.

A square in a square pattern. I really like the background fabric and the fact that the blocks have the same fabric in them.

 Another simple but effective pattern.

And the final one for today. A panel nicely framed.

Mail came and other things

and this is what the mailman left me.

I won a giveaway that Cathy was having and it coincided with my birthday. Perle cotton embroidery threads in a variety of colours. I didn't have any Perle cotton but now I do and there are a few projects that I have in mind for them.

These are my quilting and other specialty threads. I am working on the quilt you see. When it's all done, I'll show you the whole thing. I didn't make it but I was responsible for it being made - if that makes sense. All shall be revealed in the next few weeks.
