I'm busy packing for a retreat, but wanted to share photos of a few of the awesome quilts from last weekend's Chaska quilt show before I left.
I met up with my cousin Barb for a fun day of browsing quilts and shopping opportunities:
There was a gallery display of quilts by Audree Sells, a founding member of the guilt. This little beauty is one of her postcard quilts. |
This one is also Audree's--so pretty! Most of her quilts have black and white or stripey borders or bindings. |
This quilt was also made using some of the vintage plate blocks. It was hanging in the show as it was made recently. |
You can see the vintage blocks are a variation of a Dresden plate--more like a flower. |
I love that there are always little vignettes scattered among the quilts. |
Okay--my favorite part of the show--lots of tiny Lemoyne Star quilts! I need to start making some of these soon.... |
I think they were 3 or 4 inches finished--so cute! |
There were several of them and all had different settings. |
I can't decide which was my favorite--I love them all! |
I think there may have been an exchange--lots of fabric variety. |
Another vignette with a sweet bulls eye quilt. |
This is such a fun quilt--love those eyes! |
More next time!
Thank you so much for sharing these gorgeous quilts! I love those "dresden" flowers and all of the quilts are lovely. Also I particularly like Audree's pieces--tell her the colors just sing...great works all...enjoy your retreat--I'm jealous lol hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful show. I too love the LeMoyne Star quilts and would be hard pressed to choose a favourite. The vignettes are lovely and I'm going to suggest that my Guild consider the same thing at our next show!
