UPDATE: I have finished posting photos for the annual QF thread. Hopefully you will find something to inspire you or at least make you smile. I do have photos of the detailed information on each quilt, so pm me if you want more details on a specific quilt. I'm happy to share that with you. My last photo is a gift to the Peas.  This was an entry in the SAQA: Gastronomy category. If this quilter isn't a Pea, she should be! Gelatin Dessert Delite by Naomi Velasquez (ID).  ******************************************** Quilt Festival was last week and I was able to take many photos to share. It will take me a couple of days to get them up, so if you are interested check back. These are from the Miniatures category: First Place. Horseback Riding by Chiharu Takahashi (Japan). This quilt is 12" x 12"!  2nd Place. Paradise Valley by Kumiko Frydl (TX) (11.5" x 11.5")  3rd Place. Winter Sunshine by Joanne Love (Canada) (15" x 15")  Massachusetts by Patricia Caton (MA)  |

Beautiful! I don't quilt but know a few people that do. I understand how to do it and all that is involved. My mom made a bargello quilt for her lifelong best friend. And of course she has made many quilts.

Thank you **GypsyGirl** , one of my most favorite threads each year. Me too! And every year I say "I'm going to learn how to quilt this year". And I don't. This year was no exception. |

They are amazing. The “Dear Humans” one brought tears to my eyes. So I googled it and here’s the artist’s statement: THE SUPERIOR THREADS MASTER AWARD FOR THREAD ARTISTRY ($5,000) DEAR HUMANS… (94″ x 64″) By Sue Sherman Newmarket, Ontario, Canada Design Source: Original design—based, in part, on photographs taken by the artist. Artist’s Statement: The animals are sending a message to humans, offering their opinion about the state of things. If you look closely, you can see where the humans have filled the sky with their empty talk about addressing habitat loss and climate change, but don’t do enough to help. Wholecloth cotton painted with thickened dyes. ————————— I apologize if I jumped the gun, **GypsyGirl**, and can delete this post if you were going to add a photo of the artist’s statement. |

CardBoxer I do plan to add more commentary later, but it is going to take me some time. I have a ton of photos! The woman in the photo is the quilter. I was able to speak with her about her work on the quilt and her photos that inspired it. Such a treat!

Beautiful photos! I have to share a funny - some friends of ours stayed downtown all last weekend for the final World Series game and the festivities the next day. They were approached by a group of British women attending the quilt show who were completely befuddled by the ruckus and wanted to know where they might go for a meal that would be less crowded and crazy.

I was able to speak with her about her work on the quilt and her photos that inspired it. Such a treat! I have gone to a quilt guild meeting where she was the speaker and all of her quilts are amazing! Thanks so much for sharing these pictures. I haven't been since 2008, so maybe next year. The travel and hotels are so expensive. |

Oh my goodness. These quilts are not only work of arts, they are works of true humanity. They are a delight for our eyes and our souls. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks for sharing these lovely masterpieces. So much hard work. My mom was a quilter. Hers were completely stiched by hand; both setting the pices together and quilting. I cherrish the one I have as well as the one she made for my son. Its a double wedding ring and is so prety with the colors son picked out.
Anxious to see more.

Always a favorite thread. The artistry in these quilts never fails to blow me away. I'm not a quilter, but have been sewing for 50 years, and I just want to sit and watch these creations come to life. From drawing out the design, to cutting fabric and piecing it all and finally the quilting.
Wow!

I always love seeing these! Thank you for posting. The micropiecing is almost beyond belief. My thoughts exactly - the micropiecing is just absolutely fabulous! All these are just amazing - I am a quilter but certainly nothing of this standard but just love to look at others who have this level of skill. |
