Still
playing catch-up for that in-between period when I wasn’t posting. During my busy time, I went to a quilt show
up in New Port Richey (northwest of Tampa). It was sponsored by the West Pasco Quilt
Guild and they put on a really nice (and BIG) show. There were some fascinating appliqué quilts
that I would never attempt, but love to look at, only a few patriotic quilts
(that I look at for inspiration for my Quilts of Valor group), and some great simple/easy/adaptable
quilts that I can potentially make for kids. Enjoy this sampling ...
Here’s
a cute appliqué, called Monkey Business, by quilter Avis Merritt from a pattern
in Quiltmaker Magazine:
And
a wonderful Dresden
Plate with lace and yo-yo centers (sorry, I didn’t get the label – I apologize
for not giving credit):
A
quilt I loved for the rich colors called The Gathering Pattern by Cindy Stroud
from a book called The Essential Sampler Quilt Book:
Some
Patriotic quilts:
 |
| I Pledge Allegiance by Melissa Lamb, pattern by Blackbird Designs |
 |
| Tales of the First Ladies, Proud Eagle, by Joyce Novak, blocks named after President's Wives |
 |
| Patriotic Rose by Frances Oswald, designs by Janet Miller |
 |
| Portals by Mary Ann Norfleet, inspired by book Successful Scrap Quilts from Simple Rectangles |
A
very special Heirloom quilt by Genie Betts from a BOM by Carol Stark – the photos,
even the detail ones, don’t do this quilt justice!
