Another Quilt Show

Took a break from packing to spend a morning with a dear friend at a quilt show.  We had a lovely time, then ate at Applebees after!

This gorgeous wall hanging wasn't displayed in the best way, just draped over the partition, but I absolutely loved it.  There were shiny quilting threads in places.

Here is a closeup, showing the gorgeous quilting!

I love chickens so this one was one of my favorites!

This kit was sold out...I can see why!  beautiful!

We loved this sweet "garden" quilt, which was appliques, embroidered and colored (perhaps with pencils or crayons).  Amid the garden plants were Bible verses.  It was just charming!

We were blown away by this one, also a kit.  Just gorgeous!

The same company made this kit as well.  Just stunning!

Loved this!  So festive for Autumn and Thanksgiving!

This is a stunning raffle quilt!  Going to be given away at the Sierra Vista show in March.  I had to buy six tickets for $5.  Would LOVE to win it!

Paulette and I stand in front of a quilt and have someone take our picture.  Going to miss my good buddy! :-(

Sun City Quilters Show--Oro Valley AZ

Sunday was a day for a drive, and I knew just where I wanted to go!  The Sun City Quilters quilt show was going on in Oro Valley, and I wanted to see that, then drive around north of Tucson and do a little birding.  Here are some of the gorgeous quilts from the show:

This was the incredible raffle quilt...sadly I didn't win! :(

There was some incredible needlework/crochet/embroidery on display....

......and some wonderful antique quilts.

Tomstone Quilt Show

I drove down to Tombstone to attend the show there.  It's small, but really is a nice show.  My daughter and I really enjoyed it last year (we went on to the Sierra Vista show, a very large one, after) but this time I was on my own and recovering from a bad cold so didn't want to go on to Sierra Vista.  I met my good friend Candy who lives near there, and we enjoyed the quilts and then had a nice lunch!

Stunning pieced quilt...one of my favorites of the show!

Hand quilted with red thread.  Beautiful!

Boots are not my favorite motif but this quilt is beautiful made! It's the raffle quilt for next year.

Day of the Dead

Lovely pre-printed bird panels

This is my friend Candy's wonderful blue & yellow chicken lap quilt!  Love it!

A War Between the States quilt that is very nicely done with photos mixed in.

Perfectly pieced and beautiful colors!

Another one of my favorites!

I liked the navy & biegey-gold combination.
