During the quilt show in Lancaster we had fantastic weather. Here is a view of this picturesque 1700s city from my hotel window which I enjoyed each morning.
Below are more quilts from the recent AQS show held in Lancaster.
This quilt was made by Connie Brown from Asheville, NC. She named her quilt “Prints Charming”. I just thought this was a fun quilt with an amazing variety of fabrics.
“Bear Paw Variation” was made by Colleen Henrichs of Osceola, IA. I love antique quilts and the fact that we can made a new quilt with reproduction fabrics look as good if not better than the original antique version is wonderful.
Ronda Beyer from Oregon made “Gypsy Rosalie” and it won the Best Wall Quilt award.
When you look at the close-ups below you can see why it won. Good design and excellent workmanship.
Checkout this machine quilting. I love the addition of the sparkles.
I am sorry I do not have a full shot of “Hallelujah” made by Sherry Rogers-Harrison from Normandy Park, WA. But, I wanted to share this with you anyway. As it was explained to me this started as a white-on-white machine quilted piece and then Sherry paints the surface. Now that is impressive. I mean really impressive. If you Google her name you will find out much more about her and her techniques. Very cool.
Is this not one of the cutest quilts ever? I love the design and how the water shines. Nicely done. The name of this quilt is “Caught In the Act” and it was made by Barbara Barrick McKie from Lyme, CT. I have shown other quilts by Barbara in previous blogs. I am a real admirer of her work. You can find out more about her by going to her website http://www.mckieart.com/
And the last quilt I wanted to share is “A Prairie Remembrance” made by Susan Jackan from Madison, WI. Just a wonderfully peaceful quilt.
As many quilt shows as I am able to attend and as many quilts as I see, after almost 30 years of quilting, I still am excited and impressed by what is being created. It is a real feast for the eyes. Thanks to everyone who shares their quilts.
