Final pics from the quilt show

 Here are the remaining pictures from the quilt show.  Hope you've enjoyed the 'show'!









This one caught my eye because it's a bag made of 
selvages! 

And finally - this is the quilt that won 'Best of Show'....

And this picture shows the lucky winner...


- Some of you might want to play along with THIS.

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.
