Here are a few pictures from the Genesee Valley Quilt Club Inc Quilt Festival at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Take my breathe away!
I love the originality of Remembering Marmalade by Bonnie Robinson. That tail is something else!
I love kids fabric and the sweetness of children's quilts. Here's one of the many that caught my eye.
Alaina's Quilt by Carolyn Maruggi
Batik fabrics always catch my eye, but I always seem to overthink them, thus having no clue how to use them. I love how Joan Wigg used batiks in her Beautiful Batiks Row by Row.
I am an outdoor lover at heart and I am always drawn to nature and God's creatures. I don't know how the moose thing started by I am a sucker for a moose! Claire Welch's Northern Neighbors quilt fit me to a tee!
Here is another beautiful scenic quilt entitled Johnnie's Bear Quilt by Karen Wilcox
One of my favorite patterns is the Courthouse Steps. The pattern is similar to the Log Cabin which is also a favorite of mine. This Courthouse Steps by Liz Cocuzzi is a lovely rendition in browns. Is
n't the border of houses cute on Cracked Up by Cynthia Marino?
I have a special fondness for sampler quilts and traditional blocks Arizona Queen by Nancy Smith is a beauty!.
Also Colton Wedding by Jody Farraci (I love toile prints!)
Can you imagine the work this sampler took? (I missed the name on this one :(
Have you seen the quilts that use all sorts of neat embellishments to add to their style? Well they are even more gorgeous in person than in the magazines! Yesterday by MonaJeanne Easter was absolutely precious!
And some blocks from Ribbons, Pearls, & Lace
Ok, I know, I really can't show you EVERYthing..they were all so lovely! So I will close with a couple of neat quilts that show great use of theme fabrics. You know those fabrics that are just so darn cute but you think, "What could I do with those?" Well, these women did wonders!! Patricia Foote made this adorable A Dick & Jane Quilt to Griffin,
The King was in the building gracing Brook's Elvis by Joyce McMurray
And finally, two of my sentimental favorites for their odes to cowboys and cowgirls Saturdays with Gabby by Leslie Delpopolo and My Heros Have Always Been Cowgirls by Kate Wylie
Hope you enjoyed the mini-show!
