Quilt Fever 2011 Quilt Show Part 2!!

Here are more photos of the quilt show in Orlando last weekend!!

I loved how they used yo-yo's to make these lil flowers in the pots!!! Such an adorable quilt!

This was a breath-taking piece of art. So much detail that you truly had to see it to believe it! Fabulous!!!! AMAZING! UNBELIEVABLE!

I thought this was a neat idea. Antique quilts in a glass case!

Never saw a sewing machine this small!!! You turn the crank to make it sew!! NEAT!

Another Bargello quilt!!!! This is the type I am thinking of doing for Ronnie.

Reflection quilting! You cut the same piece about 5 times and piece it so it forms a reflection!

Lisa and I bought the book to make this quilt last year! Another one on the "to do" list ;) It's called "Underground Railroad"

cute!

fun

Loved this one with all the white!



WOW!! red work...amazing...close-ups below!



Stayed tuned for more!!! I'll try to fit the rest on one post...if not I should def be able to do it in two ;)

Quilt Fever 2011 Quilt Show Part 1

Last Saturday Lisa and I went to a quilt show!!! It was sponsored by the Florida Cabin Fever Quilters Guild! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! This was my VERY first quilt show!!!
I will need to break these pics up into several posts, as I have hundreds of photos!



My bestie, Lisa collects tea pot fabrics! This was SO cute with the little hankies!



This piece was AMAZING! It has quite a bit of machine embroidery on it!

The center and paisleys are all embroidered and so they end up being raised.

I LOVED this miniature! I never would have thought to put that bright orange in there and those stem pieces are SO tiny!

LOVED this paper-pieced flamingo!! Reminded me of the recent DQ I did to represent the state of Fl!

SO pretty!

NEAT pumpkin!!

LOVED this!

Celtic...I don't particularly care for it, but Lisa does ;) This is made using bias strips.

SO much to say!

Well...it's been just over a month since I last posted.
I have been busy working on a quilt for Kyle. It is a surprise for him to open on Christmas morning!! I've done tons of custom quilting on this thing and i just LOVE it!

Here I quilted in the plateaus as well as around the horses and in the horses mane and tails and the brown grass.

You can't really see the quilting in the snake on this one, but I did all around the snake and around his eye and down his tongue. I also quilted in the mountains and the ground as well as the green plant.

I quilted all in the plateaus and around each mountain lion. I did all the plants too.



This one has quilting up and down all of the cacti, throughout the ground covering and each prairie dog is outlined.





I did lots in this one....around the turtle and around each bump on the turtle's shell. I quilted in the mountains and in the ground too.

My favorite block on this quilt.



Up close of my fav block

 I will post a full size pic of the quilt once I finish binding it. I have named this quilt "a memory of Nevada".

Here are the crayon quilt mats Kyle made for Christmas gifts to family this year. He calls this one the "Caramel Warrior"

Here are two more he made.

Finished product! He also made those ornaments for gifts :)

My thought for Valentine's Day.

Round Robin. I added the last border.

MY round robin. This was accidentally sent to me a round too early! But I LOVE it, so I am not wanting to send it on to the person who is supposed to add the 5th border ;)
