From the truly humble upcycled denim masterpiece I made for my Boy (I use the word humble in the best sense. I really am proud of this piece, while also realizing that it is by no means an example of true quilting craftsmanship; its not even quilted!).
To the sweetly creative and personal quilt made by my Mama for my Girl (click the picture for a closer view... that's me in the kitchen decorating a cake!).
There were lap quilts...
bed quilts (love the fabric prints and colors in this one the best of them all)...
embroidered quilts...
intricately quilted quilts...
funky what-in-the-world quilts...
machine appliqued quilts...
and itty-bitty-dime-sized pieces hand appliqued to quilts...
there was even one rather primitive quilt (a rare decorating style in the West) that I know many of you will love...
As with last year's visit, my Budding Photographer took his camera along and captured a few favorites...
And the most incredible quilt of all, once again, I neglected to capture with my own camera... most likely because I was being shooed out of the way by a certain Boy so that he could get it for himself. I'm not usually one to gravitate toward art quilts, but the mastery of technique amazes me, and this one was just too whimsical and delightful to NOT notice. I'm pretty sure it got Best in Show, or whatever the Grand Prize ribbon is called at such places.
The end.
