Quilt Show 2010 Pics
Mar 2^nd, 2010 at 8:32am

Jimbo and I went to the quilt show on Saturday. Some of these quilts are absolutely gorgeous! They even had some quilts that were completely handmade. They keep asking when I'm going to come join them and I keep telling them that a) I don't have the time and B) there's no place for me to set my quilting frames up (I have my Grandmothers' frames~they are about 8 feet long and 3 feet wide, hand made of oak.).

Here are a few pics

This quilt is cross-stitched by hand and then quilted by hand.

I love going to quilt shows. Have made several quilts but I don't do hand quilting. Machine or tied is the best I get to. Thanks for sharing Carolyn. Carol

Wow, those are awesome. I love the one with the cats.

I have one my mother made me last year - to replace one that tattered over the years that her grandmother had made me when I was a little girl. I don't think I've taken pictures of the old one, but here's a picture of the new one (although folded). I have it at the foot of my bed for a take-a-nap quilt.

I love that quilt pattern. Always wanted to make it for a granddaughter. Sadly - I have 3 granddaughters - all tomboys!!! Not a girly-girl in the lot of them. May have something to do with the 7 grandsons that keep the girls toughened up!

Actually, my great-granny that made me the original one was from Canada too! My family was from Brantford, Ontario.

I'll take a picture of it later. One of these days when I have unlimited resources (ha!) I'd like to get it restored. It was on my bed for years and well, when you see the picture, you'll understand.

They do quilt restorations there as well as making new ones and selling them. I can't even imagine what it would cost to do that. Nice to know you have some ties to Canada.

Well it's just old, tattered, some of the embroidery has fallen out etc. Here's a few pictures. I keep thinking I'll just buy a quilt rack and hang it over with the best side showing.

YOu might be able to find a quilting club that would be willing to restore it.
