OK, I know I said that I was a good girl and didn't take photos of anything marked off limits. Well, I really assumed that that meant up close and personal, right? Panning from a fair distance doesn't count, does it? There were so many wonderful Japanese panels displayed that I really couldn't help myself. I had admired this type of textile work in Tokyo and was delighted to see it here as well.
Kaffe Fassett also had a special section set aside for his work and I really do
enjoy some of his more subtle quilts. His colors are great but I do tend to buy his fabric and then just hold on to it. I need to start using them.
A great little black quilt from a Studios demonstration where the entire quilt design is produced with colored thread and machine quilting designs. A great way to practice.
Another one of Kaffe Fassett's. Kim, remember the strips you purchased and then couldn't use? The stars in the above quilt are all done in stripes and perfect for your small pieces.
Another great applique quilt. A young man saw me looking at it and wanted to know why it should have won first prize. He directed me around the corner to another one in the same category which didn't even get a prize and he said that one should have won. Poor guy, he really was frustrated. Again, I'm happy that I don't have to judge.
This is one of Jacquie Gering's. She is really making a name for herself in the Modern Quilt group. Nothing subtle about her work.
OK, I should know the name of the above artist! She is so fun and had three different quilts in the show.
Great geometric designed quilt. Love the colors.
I sat in on a "circle making" demonstration with Timna Tarr. She was really great. Love her work.
Another of Libby's quilts.
They had an entire section reserved for Cow quilts. The makers used the same basic cow pattern, but used the word Cow or Moo to change words in their titles, such as above, coming up with some really clever quilts.
Great modern piecing technique, above. It really takes a skilled colorist to
make something like this work.
And much more traditionalist. Love the colors and "I" understand the pattern.
