This was my favorite quilt at the Midwest Heritage Quilt show, held at the Vermilion County Museum in Danville, IL. I did not think to take my other camera with me, so missed having the normal lens. But still, you are seeing most of it here. The bigger stars are pieced, with embroidery done on an embroider machine doing the feathers/triamgles along the outside of the stars. The little stars were embroidered.
The quilting on this was done by machine. Nevertheless, it was simply out of this world.
As you can see in the above picture, there is even embroidery added to the pieced part of the block...
I just now thought, the quilting might have also been done with the embroidery machine...I wish now I had one of the little booklets about the quilts.
No matter how it was done, it is fabulous and was a lot of work.
There was not a super lot of quilts...so I did not take a lot of photos. I want to encourage you to click on these to expand the view. I will show the rest in another post.

Lorelei...
We took our Tootie home on Tuesday...she requested that we stay the night. So got home yesterday evening.
After we left, Sarah took her to a rescue place, and let her get her very own kitty. The kitten's name is Pearl...she crawled by Lorelei on the way home and went to sleep. Every time she picks her up, she purrs....I am pretty sure that Lorelei thinks she has died and gone to heaven to have her very own little cat that likes to be held, etc.
