Jefferson Quilt Show, La partie Trois

Here are the final photos I took at the Jefferson Quilt Show.  I forgot to get the information as to who made them or their titles for these first two.

More embroidery – the black basket.  Loved the clamshell-looking  fabric surrounding the basket.

The next two pictures are of a vintage quilt found in the antique shop called Granny Had It.  It’s a variation of the wagon wheel block.  I was tempted to buy it until we discovered the large stain near the middle of the quilt.  That was the deal breaker, but I sure did love the design and colors.

 

It was a wonderful weekend.  We walked all over town to the exhibit hall, restaurants, and antique shops.  Jefferson is my kind of town.

Jefferson Quilt Show 2010, La partie Deux

Getting good photographs at this show was difficult, especially on the second floor where the quilts were displayed down both sides of a long hallway too narrow to get back far enough to capture the whole quilt. We did the best we could with the space allowed and the other show attendants sometimes in the way. I was probably in their way some of the time, too.

More pictures from the Jefferson show (remember to click on the photos to see a larger view):

“Days of Old” by Myra Lewis of Avinger, TX; I loved the blocks along the outside edge that tied everything together so well.

“Miss Breezy” by Judy Van Winkle of Sulfur Springs, TX. The embroidered border and flowers in the little girl’s hand set this quilt apart.

"Life With Emma & Oliver" by Betty J. Bowling of LA using redwork embroidery on pre-printed panels.

Notice the embroidery theme here. I love hand embroidery! There were even some embroidered kit quilts at the show, some appearing to be from the 60s and 70s.

A few more pictures tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Jefferson Quilt Show 2010

As usual, we had a wonderful time in Jefferson, TX.  The quilt show is the main reason and eating my birthday dinner of lasagna at Lamanche’s Restaurant is the other. 

Here’s some photos of quilts I particularly liked at the show.  Click on photos to see a larger views:

Album Cross Bed-Sized Quilt Made by Peggy Sympson of Trinity Valley Quilt Guild and Jo’s Little Women’s Club at Cabbage Rose Quilt Shop in Fort Worth.

Album Cross Miniature also Made by  Peggy S.

 This miniature Texas Christmas Cactus made by Peggy S. was exceptional.  The sawtooth border is one-half inch finished half square triangles.  She credits her precise piecing on a workshop with Sally Collins.

Point the Way – the one my husband and I voted as Viewer’s Choice  - is NOT made by Peggy, but I believe Virginia Hughes of Shreveport, LA.

I’ll post more tomorrow.  In the meantime, enjoy!
