I thought that there were less quilts on display than other years,(though I still managed to take lots of photos) and maybe not so many really modern quilts. Possibly because I have been doing a lot of applique those sort of quilts attracted my attention more. A couple of my favourite quilt fabric retailers were absent too, though that was possibly a good thing for my credit card.
Here are some quilts that caught my eye, and have hopefully reignited my sewjo for quilting which has been somewhat absent this year.

Thank you for posting the photos Julie. It's great to see what I'm missing. Have fun making the bag - it's challenging, but worth it in the end. My tip would be to make the soft and stable outer part of the front pocket slightly larger than the inner part, because it has to bend around.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm not there this year. That bag ( pattern ) looks useful.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great day! I love the Down the Rabbit Hole quilt the best, even though they are all lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, so many beautiful quilts there, lovely to see Raewyn and also to see Leeannes tiger quilt. I likemthe Birds of a Feather quilt too.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how the show changes year by year... but still a nice crop of quilts! I am always fascinated by the small details!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the gorgeous quilts! You're so right, that Dear Jane is just beautiful. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the three of you Julie and thanks for sharing the photos of quilts, I know Sue Flego, Val Williams and Mary Metcalf from the early days of Guild, lovely to see their quilts.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!! I am with your mom, that was my favorite as well. Lorraine Williams is my second favorite, Abigail.
ReplyDeleteLovely post. There were some fabulous quilts. I'm pleased to have my Tiger & his mates back home. I look forward to seeing your version of the day tripper bag.
ReplyDeleteYes, thanks for sharing your photos. It looks like a good variety of styles were represented.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that pattern, 'Around the Garden', Rebecca Bishop's rendition is gorgeous.
Thank you for this tour! Those cats are awesome, almost real!!
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to spend the time with you Julie; have fun with your sewing.. Your photos show off the quilts well. I've only just got around to sorting mine!
