This past weekend I attended my first every quilt show. It was hosted by my local quilt guild, which I do not yet belong to but I may have to join! I really enjoyed the show. I will admit, many of the quilts were not my style, but I fully appreciated the skill in every one of them, and was inspired. Here is a sampling of what was on display:
A beautiful Christmas quilt with hand embroidered snowman blocks set on glittery white fabric:
A memorial quilt:
A wonky house quilt made by 4 generations of females to celebrate a family reunion, the youngest quilter only 9 years old!
This quilt was on plain fabric an entirely quilted by hand over a 2 year period, using over 1000 yards of thread!

Thanks so much for the inspiration!

hehe, the photo booth quilt is fun!
there are great quilts.That christmas quilt catch my eyes.
The washing line quilt is great. Not my favourite colours but the feeling of movement is fab.
Love the purple, grey, mustard and blue one near the end. Some improv style going on - very nice. Big mix of styles at the show. Nice that you shared it with us - thanks!!!
Love the last one.
The large hexies and the houses really caught my eye. Like you I am in awe of the talent I see at quilt shows.
I really like the clothesline one too. It's so amazing to see the variety of quilts and styles. We have a big show here in November. Thanks for sharing.
I love the family-made quilt! Such a great idea.
I love Santa and Rudolf in the photo booth . . it is hilarious...and I love the fabrics blowing in the wind on the clothes line.
