I'm finally getting back to the rest of the quilt show photos. Real Life sometimes takes priority over blogging, for some strange reason. Had to get some things attended to, like doing taxes and taking care of some "house" problems. But, we're all squared away now, so back to the quilt show!
My apologies for the less-than-ideal photos. And don't forget, all the photos can be clicked on to "biggify" them, and some of them can be further enlarged by another click.
This post is the art quilts and the liberated quilts. First up, the art quilts:
|
Woven Wishes by Maurine Roy |
Maurine was the featured quilter at the show, and all of her quilts were outstanding. These two are just my personal favorites.

August Heat by Maurine Roy |

And now, my favorites of all, the more liberated quilts:

City Lights by Cindy Gilbrough |
This quilt is from a class with Gwen Marston. I love the addition of the wonky star . . . a nice touch of whimsy!

X's and O's by Dorothy LeBoeuf |
This quilt was started in a workshop with Freddie Moran.
Now, back to Real Life again. Hopefully I'll something to show by the end of the week.
Great quilts, Sharon! Thanks for posting the photos. Amazing quilts...
ReplyDeleteLove all the quilts! What inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSo so inspiring and motivating. I love the houses. I have made several house quilts but never one for myself. I love the way she did the windows. It would not be that hard to do. Thanks so much for sharing these pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I love the variety, it would be hard to choose a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI so admire Dorothy's work.... I've seen them both and she has an amazing color style and workmanship like I have not seen anywhere else... thanks for sharing!
