I still have more photos of quilts taken at the International Quilt Show in Houston to share with you. http://www.quilts.org
The first one is called “Strung Along” and it was made by Timna Tarr from Massachusetts. I love her use of color in this quilt.
I really like the group quilt category. It often has many of my favorite quilts. And this quilt is no exception. It was made by Anne Jenkins and members of the Ten Slices group in Illinois. The name of the quilt is “A Street in Ireland”.
I love, love, love this quilt. It is called “Mrs. MacDonald Had a Farm”. It won first place in the group quilt category and I know why. It is awesome. It was made by Lynn Czaban and members of the Hanging By A Thread group of Vancouver, Washington. There was not one thing I did not like about this quilt.
Here is a close-up of one of the blocks. Adorable. I liked how the elements were extended outside the background square.
And one more close-up. Come on…how cute is this goat? And what fun fabrics….
Isn’t this a wonderful pictorial quilt? It was made by Hiroko Miyama from Japan. The name of her quilt is “Natsumi on Her Bike”.
Here is another great pictorial quilt. The name of the quilt is “The Blacksmith: A Tribute to Gilbert Hart”. If I read the information correctly the person in the quilt is the maker’s grandfather. The quilt won second place in Art-People, Portraits, and Figures category. It was made by Melissa Burdon from New Zealand.
“Raven Blanket” received an honorable mention in the Art-People, Portraits and Figures category. This is the second time in this blog that you will see this quilters name, Lynn Czaban. Great job Lynn!! Two awards in one show. Well done.
That’s it for this week. Talk to you next week.
