I like so many of them, but I especially love the one with the American eagle in the center, and the flower quilt beneath it. Both are just wonderful! <br /><br />I have three quilts, and I do treasure them. One is the Dutch Doll pattern, given to me by my sweet paternal grandmother as a high school graduation gift. The other two were given to us by my husband's grandmother -- a Double Wedding Ring pattern and one called Grandma's Fan.<br /><br />I don't quilt, and after seeing this post, I wish I did. Maybe one day I'll learn. Thanks for sharing some of your pics, Vee; I know you must have thoroughly enjoyed this show.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Denise at Forest Manor Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235440820949449634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-90036127190345610702013-08-01T21:18:20.630-04:002013-08-01T21:18:20.630-04:00Vee

I'm so glad you shared.<br /><br />I'm not a quilter, but I have had a hankering to try a small Victorian crazy quilt, like the one where you say 'love-love-love'.<br /><br />And that one further up the list, with the purples and lilacs all 'crazy' with embroidery and crochet and tatting...FOR THAT... I'd be willing to learn how to quilt.<br /><br />Beautiful works of art...<br /><br />What fun you must have had.Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-41151054269446917402013-08-01T14:47:40.854-04:002013-08-01T14:47:40.854-04:00Quilt shows are certainly a feast for the eyes, an...Quilt shows are certainly a feast for the eyes, and for the photographer, aren't they! And, I suppose, for the quilter too but I cannot claim that moniker for myself. No patience for all that sewing. The idea of creating mini-quilts (12" x 12" or so) as art, however, appeals to me and maybe one day I'll get around to doing that. My favorites of those you've shared with us here are the two flowery, embroidered quilts. So, so gorgeous, especially the one in purples, lilacs etc that you showed us a corner of. I really love that one!Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-11791255657895977362013-08-01T12:58:07.340-04:002013-08-01T12:58:07.340-04:00Quilting has certainly gotten more sophisticated. ...Quilting has certainly gotten more sophisticated.

She was bummed because she thought you were quitting blogging. She said she was so happy to see QUILTS instead. LOL<br /><br />I did the same thing with another post on quilting from another blog friend.

I really loved the one with all the embroidery stitches embellishing the quilting. <br /><br />My grandmother made quilts and I'm lucky to have one of them. Her quilts were more of the 'use up the scrap material' type and probably not show-worthy and her stitches were far from perfect, but they were made with love and I treasure the one I have.
