Quilt Show Part 1







I attended 2 quilt shows this weekend.
The first one was in the Tampa Convention Center and I have been waiting for months to attend this one.
I have no pictures to post about the Tampa one because it was a complete disappointment. 1 row of quilts and they were traveling art quilts.
I like art quilts but I prefer to see quilts that are more to my level-usable, daily life quilts.
So, my husband remembered that there was another quilt show in a town called Crystal River and it was being hosted by a guild. I love the guild hosted shows because I can buy books and magazines and quilt blocks for delightful prices and the quilts displayed are not artsy but comfortable quilts that I may also have in my home.
I mainly took pictures of the quilts that were hand quilted because those are the ones I favor the most.
I have to break the post up into 2 sections because it is picture heavy.
Enjoy.

What nice quilts you've chosen to show us so far. I'm glad you found a good show after being at one that disappointed you.

Hi
Thanks for visiting me.I am always happy to meet another fellow quilter. In answer to your question, I have no plans to publish the pattern for my blue and white quilt as this time, but I'm flattered that you'd be interested!

I love quilt shows too, it is so much fun and I get so many ideas, my head is spinning. I especially like the top one...it looks sort of like Ricky Tim's Rhapsody.

Wow your husband know about the show! You've trained him right. I agree about quilt shows - I want to be inspired.
