I returned from my trip to Tennessee just in time to get to Quilt Odyssey. I only had about an hour and 1/2 but I was able to walk through the quilt exhibit. For those of you who were unable to attend you might like to see a few of my favorite quilts from the show. You can find out more about next years show at www.quiltodyssey.com
I have no desire to make a miniature like this one made by Pat Kuhn of Nebraska but I can certainly appreciate the difficulty level on this 17″ x 17″ quilt. Pat named her quilt “Emiline”. It really is amazing.
Rachel Wetzler made “Chromatic Transitions”. Love this quilt. Fabulous color and design balance.
“Sakura Sakura” was made by Hiroko Miyama from Tokoyo, Japan. I loved this wall quilt. Adorable. It won the best pictorial quilt and I can see why.
“Forever In My Heart” was made by Lahala Phelps from Bonney Lake, WA. It was made in memory of her mother who passed away from heart disease. It won first place in the large applique category.
Nice looking circles….don’t you think?
This crazy quilt made by Mary Chalmers from Willmar, MN. was very impressive. The name of the quilt is “Crazy With a Twist”.
“Tequila Sunrise” was made by Jean Lohman from Illinois.
Great color combination.
Great border. More perfect circles. And the ribbon effect was very interesting.
This attractive quilt was made by Mary-Margaret Morton from Ann Arbor, MI. The name of the quilt is “Nine Vases”
This beautiful wall quilt was made by Solomon Gunn from Gorham, ME. The name of the quilt is “Zen Garden”. I really like the color pallet and the balance of color and design.
The quilting was also very impressive.
I loved this group quilt submitted by Pat Durbin from Eureka, CA. The name of the quilt is “Floral Promise”. If I read the information correctly each panel was made by a different person. I loved the balance and creativity.
Another great group quilt was this one made by Suzanne Mouton Riggio and Friends. The name of the quilt is “The Jennings Homestead”.
Until next week……..
