Lindsay Creative Quilters quilt show - Part two

More quilty goodness. Grab a cup of your favourite beverage and enjoy!

Cute pattern with a fun border.




Just in case you missed it from the last quilt show.




You have to read the write up on this. What a nice way to remember your ancestors.







Rose of Sharon - an old pattern but I've never seen it done is such dark colours. Very nicely hand quilted.



This looks likes windows looking onto Asian fabrics.

The black just sets off the colours.



 More black - but just a bit. You can see how the longer quilts were hung. There was an extra bar across and the quilts were folded over. It's a great way to see the whole quilt since what usually happens is that the bottom gets pinned up to the back. I like this way of hanging.





 Nice title.

Not your typical African inspired quilt.

A close-up.

There were a few quilts done in this pattern.



You can see what a difference the colour of the fabric makes in a quilt.



I do like this pattern.



Gentle curves. A whole lot of blocks.



Soft colours. It's a wonderful bed quilt.







I wonder how long it took to make all these blocks.

Ah, she didn't do it all by herself.

I''ll leave you today with another duo.  This white one (I really, really like it.)



And this turquoise one. My all-time favourite colour.




Come back tomorrow for the last of the show.

Lindsay Creative Quilters quilt show - Part one

This weekend, on the way to the quilt show, this is what we encountered.

Dark clouds ahead.

We were driving into a rain storm. Luckily, I got into the quilt show before the clouds burst open. Off and on rain for the rest of the day. We needed it.
Please click on the photo to view it bigger if you wish.
Nice fabrics.




Tilted log cabin hearts.




Toned down fabrics.



A bed-sized paper pieced quilt. I saw this in pieces because it's made by my friend Judy.



This was stunning and incredible. 

I did think it was machine embroidered -but it's not.

Just a photo of some of the detail.




Very pretty.




This is the same pattern but using different fabrics.



This was prettier in person.



Oh, I loved this.

Here's the other side. What a great little quilt. Just take a limited palette and go to it.




A paper pieced beauty.




I found myself liking the quilts that had that 'bygone days' look to it.



What a happy looking quilt. I liked the fact that the quilter had the same fabric in four different colours.


I did the same thing - figuring out the pattern from a photo or an ad. Mine was a small wall hanging, though.

A very nice scrap quilt - done in fabrics that read as solids.
A Harebrained Happenings pattern. It always brings a smile to my face. This one had such a bright border.


A cute calendar quilt.




I do like stained glass quilts.




I leave you with two children's quilts today.
Sunbonnet Sue.


And of course, Fisherman Fred or Overall Bill.


More tomorrow.
