Embellished quilts

If you're a fan of dense quilting and intense embellishment, you loved these two quilts from the WFQ show! Linda Downing's lovingly embellished crazy quilt and Sharyn Erickson's lavishly created tree quilt. Both perfect and fascinating!

Two quilt show statistics and two beautiful quilts

Many of you know that we had a "preliminary final count". The "final final count" is:

Blast of Blooms had 208 quilts in the show (exhibit portion)

We had a total of 730 attendees (including volunteers).

Here are the two GREAT One-Block-Wonder quilts that were seen in the show!

By request - Summertime Blues!

So many people have commented on the Challenge Quilts at the Woolley Fibers Quilt Show! Everyone loves the pattern!



















The group that meets at the SW Rodeo Grounds challenged themselves with this quilt. Londa reports that it is fun to make and we all certainly enjoyed the results! So we asked for the source of the pattern.

"Summertime Blues" appeared in the June 2009 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting, starting on page 37. Here is a link to their online version - showing color options and instructions for the a wall-hanging size:
