I must say, I am quite impressed that most of the quilts here were quilted by the makers themselves. My favorite part of quilt-making is machine quilting, so I appreciate it when quilters are reaching beyond what is comfortable to quilt their own works.
Wonderful quilts…. thanks for sharing.
Some of these remind me of the Gees Bend quilts.
Yes, a lot of modern quilters have been inspired by the quilts of Gee’s Bend. That type of discussion came up several times in the lectures I attended.
I have really enjoyed these photos you are sharing with us! Such talent abounds!! Thank you!
Thanks for posting these for those of us who can’t attend. Such creativity!
Wonderful photos you are sending so we can see all the great quilts. Thanks so much for taking all the photos.
Thank you for sharing these photos…I would love to have been able to attend Quiltcon, it seems so contemporary!!
As someone who cannot get within hundreds of miles of Quilt-Con, I am so very glad you are sharing these!
thankyou soooo much Christa, i am so envious of you being there, so i really appreciate you sharing your adventures, excellent pics
awesome!! Thanks again for sharing.
I too appreciate the quilt maker quilting their own, nice to see the trend. If you don’t write a book, I hope you’ll do a big long blog series for those like me who didn’t attend.
Christa – I’m here enjoying Quilcon too … Can’t sleep at 3 am, so I’m looking at quilts online!
Oh Christa, I wish I could say I’m impressed. Maybe it’s just me, but I think your quilts are so much better than those that you have shown. I guess I don’t know art and quality when I see it, but I like to have you share them anyway. Thank you.
