Went to a quilt show this afternoon. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Lots of original designs as well as made from patterns. Seeing the same pattern in different colors with different quilting patterns shows how much the individual creates the final outcome.

The eagle is a panel (printed design); the quilting is the stitching that goes completely through the quilt and holds the batting (middle fluff layer) in place between the two sewn outside layers. And the creativity and detail of the quilting on and around the eagle was like nothing I’d seen before.

I spent about 45 minutes walking around, taking photos, talking with the quilt club guides. Small amount of effort on my end for a great reward of inspiration and fun.

Art is Everywhere. Anyone can create Art.

These are gorgeous! The HOURS that go in to something like these is insane. We were lucky enough to get a quilt from a family friend when the boy was born. I need to talk to someone about cleaning it and how to put it up for the future.

My mom made quilts for several years. You’re absolutely right about the hours involved.
