Pacfic International Quilt Show

Sensory Overload.  Thats pretty much all I can say about that.  Quilts, color, fabric, beauty, amazing workmanship.   Towards the end I couldn't even look at them anymore my poor brain just couldn't take it.

Isn't this just the cutest?

 Beads and Buttons and Batiks,  Can't get any better than that!

 Astounding!

I just like the way the colors flowed in this one.  It was about music.

 I hate to call this a quilt, its more like fabric art.  As you can see it won 2 blue ribbons.  It was quite mind boggling. We have decided it should be a rule that you have to say how long it took to finish.

 Astounding hand quilting,

 Simply astounding.  She was from Canada.  Guess you have to have something to do during the winter.

Isn't she lovely.....?

 Look at all those lil bitty pieces!

 This one was from Australa.  I liked the points and the lil sheeps.

 This one was New Zealand  I think.  Love Love Love the borders

What amazing work you can do with a quilting machine these days

Up close I didn't really like this one but from away I really liked the colors and the lattice.

I liked the inner part of this.  Its a simple "bow tie" pattern but for the inner part she make some 3D squares to enchance the circle effect.  So cute so simple I wanna try it.

Can you tell I'm a bit of a traditionalist?  Love this one

This was called Kalidiscope. 

This one just looked cool

Loved the batiks in this one and the pattern

Now this took some dedication.  She actually said how long it took.  She is from Japan.  25 winters.  Yes 25 YEARS.

Look at those itty bitty squares!  Val was immensly disturbed by this one.  Couldn't stand to  look at it.   I found it fascinating and repulsive at the same time.

How awesome is this?  The quilting details were so cool.  There were sea shells, sea stars, dolphins, and \jelly fish.

AND a mermaid!

This was cool in all the affects she used.  She used  a mesh/lace/tulle stuff to enhance the bark.  Neato

I just lke the colors of this one

More amazing hand work

Then my camera battery died.  Alas
