More quilts from the 2013 Festival of Quilts. If I have made any mistakes, please let me know. These quilts are from various categories. Once again, there were many quilts in Traditional and Contemporary that could have been in either category; there seemed to be a lot of overlap....
Jenny Harper of Buckie, Scotland, Pickled Geese, in Contemporary Quilts.
This quilt was attracting a lot of attention......based on Fibonacci series...
a little applique quilt in naive style...
Danish quilter Janne Juul
Two person quilt, Stardust by Helen Brookham and Sandy Chandler Launceton
Detail of the quilting (machined)...judges choice...
Sandy Chandler, Grace, a wholecloth by an expert longarm quilter..second in traditional quilts.
detail of above, to show the dense quilting...
This quilt did not photograph very well, it was a stunning colour contrast in real life, a deep purple with bronze, embellished with a great many (20,000) hotfix crystals in a bronze colour. It is called Shooting Stars and is by Birgit Schuller of Riegesberg, Germany.
A detail to show the sharp piecing and very good quilting....and crystals which did glitter nicely.....very colourful even if this does not show under the sodium lamps...
Liz Jones of Leominster, Love in a Mist, button hole machine applique and free motion machine quilting. Third place in Traditional Quilts.
More quilts to come...
Wonderful quilts. Thanks for showing them. And thanks for getting those detail shots. Makes it much more interesting.
