Quilt Show - part three

 I hope you're enjoying the virtual quilt show.  I had a hard time choosing which quilts to show you because there were so many wonderful ones.  Here are a few more that caught my eye...













Sorry, but for some reason my computer is flatly refusing to change the orientation of this one...

It's hard to see from the photo but this quilt was made up of 
pieces of little girls dresses - 




- Have a look through THIS article to see some pretty incredible embroideries.

- You might have a use for one of THESE.

- Or how about one of THESE?

Quilt Show - part two

Here are a few more that caught my eye from the quilt show...






This one was stitched with metallic threads and had lots of crystals too.  Hard to get a decent photo that shows the sparkle.






















This one (below) was done with felted wool...lots of fun details!














- Perhaps you'd like to make one of THESE to wear in the summer sun.

- THIS is an awww-worthy thing!

- THESE are rather cute.

- I think I showed you one of these before, but HERE are good instructions to make your own.

Today's quote..."I hate when people say "You don't owe anyone anything."  Actually no, I think as a bare minimum, we owe each other basic human kindness and respect"

Come along with me....

 On Friday my friend and I explored our local quilt show and I remembered to take my camera.  So....how would you like to spend this week coming along with us and seeing some of my favourites from the show?  Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures.
























There will be more quilts for you to see over the next few posts.  The pictures may not be great quality but you can get the overall look of some of the creations that caught my eye.  

- I came across THIS - something I've never seen before.  Scroll down to see some amazing examples.

- I think THIS would be useful for so many people.  I'm thinking it would be wonderful to have while sitting around a campfire over the summer.

- I thought THIS bag was fun.  

- THIS little guy was an awwww-worthy thing.
