Barnswallow Quilt Show

Attended the quilt show in Morden yesterday with Joan and Shirley. Met up with Yvonne and JoAnn. Here are some of our favorite quilts:

Saw this Katie Freisen quilt design in a few different colours, but we liked this one best!  Beautiful batiks prints in natural, beige, taupe, and brown.  (More colourful than the photo seems to show.)

A quilt that Grandma Yvonne may have to quilt for Sofia when she graduates to a big person bed.  (Sofia that is, not Grandma.)

All quilt designs from the book Quilted Symphony.  The three sisters need to have a quilting retreat to try out these designs.  We have had the book for ages!!

This quilt reminded me of a Hawaiian sampler quilt.  Similar to the first quilt I ever made (all by hand) in the 1980s.

More abstract art quilts that I liked.

Here is an excellent scrappy quilt.  
Good project to keep in mind to use up some of those scraps I seem to accumulate!!
An art quilt table runner done with circles/arcs, some are woven into each other.
(Nice photography work Yvonne!!  Or is it just the quick subject?)

Some more art quilts:
1.  Cabin and creek (top left) is done with an angular strip piecing method.
2.  Forest scene has a bargello background and appliqued trees.
3.  Garden gate is a gorgeous creation by Barb Westfall and Pearl Dueck.
