Jessica Skultety of Quilty Habit posted a picture someone sent her of her quilt "Home" hanging at the International Quilt Festival this year. I saw this before I went to see the quilt, and I thought - wouldn't it be nice to show her how it looks walking up to the quilt so she can get the whole experience, even without being there?
(Yes, there are bright lights shining everywhere, and yet not all of the quilts are lit well or some are lit too brightly. The ceiling is high up, y'all. They try. ;P )
I think I see it from here in the main aisle...
There's a couple checking it out -

Up close, this quilt is full of beautiful Botanics fabrics from Carolyn Friedlander's line as well as detailed quilting. There was also a small blue thread camouflaged on one of the turquoise trees. I flagged the nearest Quilt Angel (oh, she of the white gloves) and asked her to remove it post haste!
The fair lady did consent to pose next to the aforementioned quilt in her Halloween costume (interesting to have Festival on Halloween day, by the way; there was lots of lighted and flashing headgear - quilters don't do things by halves!).
Some more quilts in the show:
These two quilts are by Brigette Morgenroth, a lovely German lady, who also brought along some of the paper-piecing she was working on. She does it all by machine - no handwork, she says there's no time for that!

Thank you so much for the pictures and the lovely write up! You rock, Summer! :)
I was one of the lucky quilters able to attend the show for a day. Your perspective is quite entertaining, however, and I'm so glad I found your blog. Since I was there on Friday, only a few people were dressed up, but I imagine that Saturday much have been strange indeed!
