PHOTO-HEAVY POST ALERT!!!
... Because that is what you're in for today. Grab a cuppa, relax, and enjoy Quilting From The Heart, a quilt show sponsored by the Capital Quilters Guild, Raleigh, North Carolina.
This is the first quilt we saw upon entry. The Best of Show:
The ribbons and a close-up of some of the quilting:
Don't adjust your monitor. The entry is call All Colour to No Color. I can't imagine having this much gray in my fabric stash:
Wait!! I know who did this one!! It was hanging at Cary Quilting Company, in Cary, North Carolina - because the owner made it:
This rainbow-ish quilt decorated the Silent Auction booth:
Look at the fun backing:
And a shot of the label ( to let the maker know that I try to give credit) even though my phone doesn't always focus properly:

Now, back to the quilts...

Loved this quilt and found that it was made by a former beemate:
OMG!!! This person's 1st attempt at machine quilting feathers:
I'm pretty sure this was at Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival:
Interesting block:
Made with denim:
Helena thought B would like to see this quilt...

I was interested in the construction of this quilt's border:
Helena liked this one:
A closer look gave an entirely different picture:

What a way to spend a day!!!
Fun tour! Lots of inspiration. I'll expect to see at least half of these in your production this year ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of gorgeousness! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful quilts - Wow! Thanks for sharing. Are you from the Raleigh area? I'm somewhat familiar with the area because my son and his family live around there. I love the Cary Quilt Company. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteWow! Eye candy galore. Thank you for sharing. ;^)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the pictures! I really enjoyed this post!
ReplyDeleteGoodness!!! This one needed a breakfast and a lunch!! What a fabulous day! And all those Ah-Mazing quilts!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a lot of great quilts. That first one, the grey -- I can't imagine finding that many greys. I've been at two quilts shops lately and have found very few grey fabrics. The one with green diagonal squares on white really stands out to me (maybe because I'm making a set with diagonal squares). The others are wonderful, too. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great virtual quilt show - wish I could have joined you all. I liked all the quilts you picked for me to see...plus a whole lot more!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the tour. My favorites were the Almost Amish, a striking design. I could hug that little fox to bits.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for the eye candy! I especially liked the fox quilt and the stunning dragonfly quilt.
