Quilt Festival 2008

This was my second time to Quilt Festival--the first was in 2000 after I got my quilt machine. After reviewing my pictures, I realized I take most of them to capture the quilting, so you'll have to view these quilts as a quilter!

This was an antique. If I remember right, it was from the mid-1800s. Gorgeous quilting and I love the colors.

I was sorry I didn't take a picture of the whole quilt. The interior was four large applique blocks. Gotta appreciate the picture I DID take of the quilting though!

Classic. Got enough of the quilt in this to imagine the rest...and no shot of the quilting!

This is Sharon Schamber's winning quilt. The quilt itself is pretty spectacular. The quilting was mind-blowing. I think I heard it has 25,000 yards of silk thread in it. The background is hand-dyed black cotton fabric. All the designs on it are made from the quilting in gold thread. The red was quilted in black. Just amazing. I really think they should declare her the winner next year as well. This was good enough for at least two years!
