Welcome to the next edition of Wonderful Wednesday!! This week I'd like to share what I did on International Quilting Day. I hope YOU are ready for another...
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:
Wandered in and out of vendor booths on the main isle and got distracted by this beauty:
Wait!! I know who did this one!! It was hanging at Cary Quilting Company, in Cary, North Carolina - because the owner made it:
Continuing around the perimeter and visiting vendors, I took this photo for Knittingsuek, who has recently become interested in the art of wool applique:
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:
Rainbow quilt at the Wish Upon a Quilt booth:
Ever on the lookout for rainbow quilts to share with my fellow RSC Quilters who participate in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge:
A couple more rainbow quilts:
Sometimes, I can't recall why I took a photo. Usually, I do...
Color combo:
Green for the March Color of the Month for the RSC:
Wow factor:
AWESOMEness:
I took this photo for Needleb:
How often do YOU see a yellow quilt:
I'm SEW pleased to have been able to meet-up with my Ravelry friend, Graylagran, who lives in the area:
Here we are with the lovely piece of wooden quilt are she bought:
Wait!! Get a shot with me and Helena:
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...
... But I thought she might like to see this one:
I was interested in the construction of this quilt's border:
Helena liked this one:
A closer look gave an entirely different picture:
This was a fun quilt for fussy cutting your favorite fabrics:
This is in my Joyful Iris Garden quilt:
Fun with Flying Geese:
Fun with circles:
Another interesting border:
