Wonderful Wednesday - Art Feeds the Soul - Elon Quilt Show

Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday!!  Today I'm here to share some of the quilts from last week's Art Feeds the Soul Quilt Show in Elon, North Carolina hosted by two area quilt guilds.  The Alamance Piecemakers and Burlington Carousel Quilters team up to raise funds and food for the Alamance County food pantry run the the Salvation Army.

These three friends from my Weekly Morning Quilt Group met me there:

Are YOU ready to see the quilts???

Let's start with this summer quilt (no batting) made from vintage Italian linen and lace:

Along with that one, there were many other projects in the Mostly Recycled Challenge.  Here are a few that captured my interest for one reason or another:

Oh, shiny!  I wander off to the perimeter of the show...

Before returning to this sweet use of vintage hankies in the Mostly Recycled Challenge aisle:

Here are other entries that caught my eye...

Two interesting takes on the Potato Chip quilt:

and...

A brilliant use of a panel:

A fabulous use of Flying Geese blocks in a border application:

A few colorful quilts caught my eye...

Including this Kaffe quilt:

This modern Hexie Quilt reminded me of my recent visit to Quilted Needle Fabrics in Pittsboro, NC, as several of the prints were offered there and my friend Cindi wanted them all:

This may have been my vote for Viewer's Choice.  Rainbow, you know:

Not rainbow, but excellent use of color:

My photo doesn't do the quilt justice.  It's an inventive use of fabric and the appliqued fish really take this project to the next level...

The fish print is what caught my eye, as it is on the back of DS2's River Ocean quilt:

I thought of Preeti @ Sew Preeti Quilts when I saw this one, as she did a whole thing on her version of the African Queen block used in this quilt.  You can read about Preeti's International Sister Block adventure from back in 2019 at the link provided:

More quilts with great use of color:

And one done in a rainbow of color...

Just LOOK at this incredible art quilt...

And another interesting one using non-traditional materials.  Artificial flowers fill the vase below:

There was also a display of patriotic quilt...

Along with a selection of quilts for sale:

Our afternoon wrapped up with an old fashioned "bed turning" of antique quilts...

This was my favorite:

Oh!  There might have been a fabric haul, too...

It's all Britt's fault!  I was only petting the sale prints and planned to put them back before leaving the vendor area.  The books were definitely coming home with me:

Until next time...

Go to a (QUILT) Show!!!
