More....

Just a few more from the quilt show...
it will be the last I show.

All are for a bed...
at least to the best of my memory.

This last one was my favorite...not that the others are beautiful. This one just really appealed to me most.

A few more from the quilt show...

I thought I would show a few more from the quilt show...I thought you might enjoy all the bright beautiful colors of this quilt. Wouldn't it brighten up a room on a dreary winter day?



This one was from Germany.....the below photo shows the way the quilting showed up on back. It is as pretty in its own way as the front.


Then we have another leaf quilt below....
it is not my favorite but I am definitely going to have to do a leave quilt because they sure appeal to me.


And here we have a couple more...

So much work and so much talent.

Tomorrow I will try to show you my favorite quilt...it is nothing like these...it is just a basic usable quilt. Not that I wouldn't love any of the above....but quilts that are made for the bed are what really pulls at my heart....when I am making a quilt with someone in mind, it is like stitching a prayer for them...wanting the best in life for them. I like knowing that my daughters both sleep under a quilt that I have made them...they are wrapped in my love.

Indiana Heritage Quilt show....

Yesterday, Mary sent me an email which reminded me that the Indiana Heritage Quilt Show was starting....they were leaving right away. We thought we might as well head that way, too.


I thought first I would show a few of the art quilts...some are almost like paintings.


The artist takes fabric and needles and thread and sewing machines and create works of art.


Who would ever have thought of making a quilt like the scene above?


The one above is probably the biggest of all I am showing here...but I cannot remember quite how big it was.


I couldn't even sketch the the scene above, much less create it with fabric and thread.


Since we all love butterflies, I thought I would throw in this one...


and the one above is one of my favorites....


I just had to throw in a version a little bit closer in.

And here is the last I am showing here today...aren't they works of art.

******************
We have had storms roll through this morn...had hail in the morn, but only for a few seconds and not too big....then a few minutes ago, it got so dark, one would have needed headlights to drive safely. Another storm passed through, and now the sky is just stormy looking but not threatening.

I hope you enjoyed the quilt show....they all enlarge...and really are best viewed bigger.
