In this case, it stands for Local Quilt Show. The Quilters by the Sea Guild has an annual show in Wilmington, the 30th of which took place last weekend and I had opportunity to see some amazing work.
Here's a small sampling:
This one fascinates me, an all inclusive take on an old standard, this is called "International Sunbonnet Sue".
Last year was my first time at a quilt show, and this year it was fun to go through and be able to identify blocks by name. Above is a String Quilt...I have one in progress!
Upon closer inspection, I recognized the border fabric on this one: 'Millefiore' by Kaffe Fassett. I'm using the same fabric pattern of a different color on my newest WIP ~ shown in photo below, 'Cobalt'.
I studied this one for awhile, and learnt how it was arranged.
This would be a fun one to make!
I think it's Log Cabin trickery :-)
Stunning! Made with 1 inch squares, placed just so to create a human face....like pixels ;-)
I want to make one of these also ~ a pretty pastel log cabin. I turned the camera for the perspective in the photo at right.
Jelly rolls? Another fun one to make!
Lovely!
And, I hit their Resale Shop for deep discount bargains on guild members' stashes! The ladies at the check out said, "Wow, you're GOOD!" Funny...I thought I was being BAD!
Hi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteI love going to quilt shows and seeing all the beautiful quilts people lovingly put together.
Log Cabin is my favorite block to make I have made several. It can be pieced together in so many different angles for some many different looks.
