Between the rising prices of gas, food, and everything in general – many of us are opting to do staycations this summer. So, for your enjoyment, here are more photos of the quilt show in Paducah, KY 2006 (Part 2). I found the various applique quilts fascinating. The many themes were amazing. We quilters are so creative. I have long since lost my handbook for the show so I can’t tell you anything about these quilts. However, you can enjoy…
This is about the time JG and I go to the national quilt show in Paducah, KY. Much to our frustration, it was canceled for the second year thanks to a certain virus. We decided to do a quilt related event of our own. Yesterday we drove part of the the Barn Quilt Trail of Gibson County, IN. Photos in no order – Enjoy the Barn Quilts: We started at her home in Princeton, IN and just loosely followed state…
I was reading my newest issue of Early American Life magazine and saw a notification for a virtual quilt show at a New England museum. I thought what a great idea. After all, most quilters are missing the privilege of going to quilt shows thanks to COVID. So, fellow quilters, here is a small listing of virtual quilt shows to see for your enjoyment. Shelburne Museum display “Pattern and Purpose” National AIDS Memorial “Remembering Native Lives Lost to AIDS” 2020…
Today is a dreary, gray, rainy day here. I thought it would be fun to “go to a quilt show” in Terre Haute, IN. I miss going to quilt shows (thanks to COVID) and thought all of us could use some new ideas and inspiration. Plus it will encourage us in our quilting activities. The best part is that we don’t have to get out of our jammies, deal with rising gas prices, or see the show at a certain…
QUILT SHOW – PADUCAH, KY 2013: For quilters, going to the quilt show in Paducah, Kentucky is a special dream come true. I am lucky enough to live a few hours away so I use a few vacation days and just go. Please enjoy this small taste of the wonderful quilts that were on display at the Quilt Show-Paducah, KY 2013. I attend the national quilt show in Paducah, KY because it is fun and inspiring https://www.quiltweek.com/workshops/paducah-2013/ . There are…
So far this year I have not been to a single quilt show, and I am missing seeing quilts by other quilters. Quilt shows are fun. Great way to meet other quilters, see quilts, and just generally enjoy being a quilter. I am sharing photos of a show many years ago. It’s fun to see how quilting styles and colors change over the years. Enjoy these memories of a quilt show in Billings, MT back in April 1995. Enjoy each…
PERSONAL QUILT SHOW & ROAD TRIP – The corona virus is getting to all of us it seems. I love being home and able to do things here. But after a week of “quarantine” even I needed a change of scenery this past Tuesday. My husband had the day off and so we decided to do a road trip to see if we could see any barn quilts. I also thought it would be nice to take along some quilts…
Quilt shows come in all themes, sizes and locations. I had the opportunity of enter quilts in the Quilt Show of Powell, Wyoming in 1994. While many people would not consider this a big quilt show, it was fun and easy to enter. A nice thing about my own (or your own) quilts hanging in a show is that they are seen from a totally different perspective than on the bed or wall of home. Before moving to central Indiana…
