Not only was the shopping great at the Minnesota Quilt show, the quilts were amazing and so inspiring!
Since it's Slow Sunday Stitching, I thought I would share a few that featured hand work.
 |
| This Bird of Paradise AKA Civil War Bride quilt made me want to make another one! There are so many humorous details...notice the grave marker where the groom should be...guarded by a squirrel! |
 |
| This was my favorite block--the broderie perse was amazing! |
 |
| This block was pretty funny--the dog reminds me of Santa's Little Helper from the Simpson's. |
 |
| This quilt of every kind of fuchsia imaginable was like a painting--gorgeous! |
 |
| This was a great wool version of Primitive Garden--makes me wish the one I'm (not) working on is not the cotton version. |
 |
| This eye catching quilt is all wool. |

 |
| I loved this applique quilt--similar to the Bird of Paradise |
 |
| And this one--same as above but a bit brighter. That's enough eye candy for one post--more later! |
 |
| I've been in the mood to get back to some English Paper Piecing--perfect to work on during Game of Thrones. I was going to make a few more Little Gems, but then I got sucked into another sew along with Temecula Quilt Company on Instagram. |
 |
| At least I don;t have to cut any fabric--my 1.5" squares are the perfect size for the half inch papers--and the Costco calzone packages are perfect to store them!. Linking up with Kathy for Slow Sunday Stitching HERE  |
Thanks for the pictures of all of those gorgeous quilts. I especially like the wool quilt with all the embroidery. Wow you have a whole lot of 1.5" squares. I love the way you have organized them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are wonderful; I enjoyed the show! :)
ReplyDeleteThe workmanship is amazing on these quilts. Was this a large show?
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along with you to the show ... what fabulous hand work! I love what I see of the fabrics in your calzone package. I would love to work with some smaller hexies, but I fear that my fingers wouldn't be able to handle them adequately. Do you glue baste or thread baste your hexies?
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your EPP - 1/2 inch papers? My that is teeny tiny.
ReplyDeleteThose are some gorgeous quilts. And I love your hexies!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilts! I wonder when wool applique will catch on here? It's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up and enjoy your hand stitching!
Those quilts are fantastic! I love the fuchsia and the snowflake one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's always inspiring to see what Quilter's are creating. Looks like a fantastic show. Love all of your little squares so neatly arranged in your calzone package!
ReplyDeleteYa know, there are two things I'm trying to avoid starting: a massive applique quilt and a tiny hexagon quilt. You just kicked me in both soft spots...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pretties to look at, and I'll keep trying to resist.
Oh so much wonderful applique work! Thanks for sharing....hexi's are so much fun huh!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful quilts! Thank you for sharing the photographs.... I loved seeing them! Wow! what an incredible box of 1.5 inch squares! I'm in awe!! Enjoy Game of Thrones! :) x
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous CWB - the red border is so bold and wonderful! I'm a little too far along with mine to do red borders so I guess I'll have to make another too with you - lol! I love the humorous details too - fun! The dog also looks like the one in the classic Grinch who stole Christmas :0) Your hexies look yummy - I look forward to seeing that progress. Gayle's comment nails the problem with your blog! So many gorgeous projects - so little time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the quilt show photos, seeing the same quilt is two color ways is really interesting. They look so different.
ReplyDeleteOhh What a delicious post of gorgeous quilts. I'm going to make a cup of tea and have another slower look.
ReplyDeleteWhat an outstanding quilt show! You can never show too much eye candy! Love that storage container, going to have to look for that and hope the food is as good as the package.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing photos of the Quilt Show. Someday I hope I can get there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. I love the humour in the CWB quilt. You are right that the dog looks like Santa's Little Helper. I also love seeing your hexagons. The colours and prints you are using are really speaking to me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great Show and Tell. I have started ( 3 blocks) of the CWB quilt, but along way to go! I love the version of the one in the show. Lovely and the pink border is certainly different.
ReplyDeleteMouthwatering applique, thank you from Northern B.C.
