The American Quilter’s Society has come to Lancaster!!!! Yippee!!!! We are very fortunate to have the AQS come to our area. Over the past, I think about 20 plus years, we have been very fortunate to have had a large show in the Lancaster area. The show was going to come to an end and the quilters in the surrounding area would miss it greatly. But AQS moved in and produced a marvelous show at the Lancaster Convention Center. This is a very new facility. I spent the day with my girlfriends viewing quilts and of course shopping at the vendors. Awesome quilts and awesome vendors. I would like to share some of my favorite quilts with you.
One of my favorites was called Incommunicato. This quilt was made by Esterita Austin from Port Jefferson Station, New York. Esterita and I have crossed paths at some quilting seminars and she is a really nice person and her quilts always make me smile. You can find out more about Esterita at http://esteritaaustin.com/ On her website you can view some great close-up shots of this quit.
Another one of my favorites was called Cherry Trees. I love this quilt. It was made by Betty Busby of Albuquerque, New Mexico. I found this and more of Betty’s quilts for sale at this link http://www.etsy.com/shop/bbusbyarts Truly a gifted artist.
I’ll share some of my other favorites in future blogs.
Thank you AQS for all you have done for quilters year in and year out!!
