Several people in my quilt guild had quilts hanging in the show. One quilt, by Kumiko Frydl, had the distinction of winning first place in the miniature category. Woohoo! Can you say Mariner's Compass with 108 points...in miniature?! Crazy...
The following quilt was an entry in the miniature category. No, not Kumiko's, but still nice.
This quilt took 2nd place overall.
The old quilts are always my favorites. Was able to resist the urge to buy a Whig's Defeat quilt with partially completed trapunto from the 1800s...but only because I couldn't find a way to explain it to Tom! This isn't that quilt. Kicking myself now for not asking if I could take a picture of the one for sale.
This was a display at Festival. Looked even better in person...like all quilts do.
We had the privilege of hosting a group of Russian quilters. Here are a couple of them in front of a couple quilts in their display area. We had lunch with them and took them to a local quilt shop. They taught us how to make little dolls with only fabric, stuffing, and thread. No needle or sewing. Great fun.
I've got lots more pictures...but this is all blogspot thinks I should share :)
