Every other June the Birmingham Quilters Guild has its show. This year featured more than 300 quilts! Thank you, quilters, for your amazing work! Talk about inspiring.... here are some of my favorites:
Self-portrait Quilts
 |
| Instead of a picture, my friend Ann made her self-portrait in WORDS... which makes me wonder.... how would I do my self-portrait quilt?! Hmmm.... |
3-D Quilts
 |
| What a great way to use those old heirloom doilies! |
Farm-related Quilts
 |
| This is so gorgeous! Right away I had to send a pic to my cow-loving mom. |
 |
| reminds me of Ludelphia! |
(not pictured: a slew of chicken quilts!)
Fun Quilts
 |
| How can you not smile at this?! |
 |
| reminds me of my cyclist brother and nephew... |
 |
| isn't the quilting gorgeous on that flower?? |
 |
| Mermaids always make me think of my sweet sister! |
Under-the-Sea Quilts
 |
| This one reminds me of Agnes, the heroine in my forthcoming picture book THE OCTOPUS POSTCARDS! |
 |
| another mermaid! Yay! |
Eye-Popping Geometric Design Quilts
Quilts Featuring the Color BLACK
 |
| When I won a fat quarter in a drawing, I picked a black print fabric. I totally want to make a quilt with black in it now! |
I love seeing the quilt pics. I'm a bit behind on commenting, but I'm so glad to see this quilt post. I like the 3D quilts. Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteWow, quilters are so creative. I love seeing them all, but especially love that "Farm Girl" and your friend's "words." Happy Fourth to you, Irene.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next summer I could make a trip to Birmingham to see this show. I tried quilting years ago, but it didn't stick. Love the unique designs here.
