Quilts

Category: not baby – Mommy Rimes – 7:24 pm

I had the chance to see some of the most beautiful quilts in the world this weekend. Really. The best quilts from Japan, Australia, Germany, South Africa, US, and a whole lot more that I’m forgetting right now, but were all wonderful.

One of my favorites was the artist from Australia. These quilts were so amazing, and photographs cannot do them justice. There were these trees. And they were everywhere. Simply stunning.

I’m also a big fan of sparkles. I love embellishments on quilts. Especially beads and sparkly thread. It must be the little in me. One quilt was not only sparkly, it had CDs sewn right onto it. Talk about some major bling!

There were also some wonderful colorwork quilts that never cease to amaze me. I am just in love with these color wheel type quilts. Would you believe I’ve never made one? I’m such a bad art teacher.

I just want to say Congratulations! to every single person who had art work at this show.  It is an amazing feat to finish a quilt, let alone to finish one as beautiful as all the quilts that I had the pleasure of seeing.

  1. Wow, so beautiful. I love the trees and the seas… hard to believe that it’s fabric and thread, not a painting.
