Festval of Quilts: Quilts

Having finally gone properly through my FoQ pictures, pairing up quilts and their entry numbers in the catalogue where possible, here’s a little quilt show for you. I was very good at the beginning, photographing the sign beside each quilt, then I lost track and then I pretty much stopped photographing and just enjoyed the show. You have to make a choice at some point, don’t you; documenting an event or staying in the moment.

Anyway; I hope I’ve got the artists right:
Maggie Barber
Alicia Merrett
Linda Robinson
Ruth Parker (detail)
Helen Howes
Anita Welty (detail)
Deborah O’Hare This was the quilt I was looking for which I finally found it at the end of my last day at the show. I had been watching it grow and come to life through little snippets on her blog and had an idea how it would look. The total was even more beautiful than the details by themselves and I was so happy to see it in person (if you can say that about an object at all; in quilt??)

And then I lost track of who made all these wonderful pieces or art. Sorry.
Aaaah, so much beauty in one place…

  3. I am such a traditional quilter. I am always amazed at those people who can take an idea from their head and transfer it to a quilt. These are all wonderful! Thanks for sharing them with us.
