I absolutely love “My Flower Plates” made by Candyce Grisham from Missouri. I love medallion style quilts so this quilt really appeals to me.
I am a big fan of Pat Holly’s quilts. Her workmanship is immaculate. The name of Pat’s quilt is “Imagining India” and it won second place in the Innovative Applique category.
Group quilts like “The Jennings Homestead” never cease to amaze me. The idea that 26 members of the Milwaukee Art Quilters from Wisconsin could each make a panel and have it all come together into this incredible quilt is very impressive. This quilt won an honorable mention is the group quilt category.
Here is another incredible group quilt by Aiko Miyata and 15 friends from Tokyo, Japan. The name of the quilt is “The Beauty of Wild Nature”. And if I read the information correctly about the quilt the design came about after a trip to Hawaii.
Here is another group quilt. It won second place. It was made by Keiko Morihiro and 30 friends from Hyogo, Japan. The name of the quilt is “Scenery Through Round Windows”. Japan was very well represented at the show this year.
“Ocean Blue” was made by Noriko Sato from Japan. It is a stunning quilt.
As I mentioned, Japan was very well represented in the show. This is yet another exquisite Japanese made quilt. The maker’s name is Kiyomi Takayangi and the name of the quilt is “Departure”. This quilt won first place in the Traditional Pieced category.
I’ll have more quilts from the show in Houston to share with you next week. Have a great week!
