Last Thursday my mother-in-law and I attended a quilt show at JCC. There was quite a variety at quilts. Some were at least 75 years old, and others were fairly new. Here were some of my favorites:
This quilt was created by a church, and each quilter embroidered their name in the center blocks. I like how they filled the plain blocks with a simple quilt design.
Another quilt fundraiser from the same church, but this time each member paid 25cents to have their name embroidered on the quilt (I don't remember if it was made in the late '70s or early 80's). Once finished, the quilt was auctioned. The purchaser donated it back to the church. I loved simplicity. I think this would make a great family tree quilt or church charter wall-hanging.
I love the 3d block pattern, you can arrange it so many different ways and get a wide variety of styles.
The only bad thing is that seeing different styles and patterns always makes me want to head home and forget about everything else except sewing. I suppose if I were able to do that, then sewing might cease being such a wonderful hobby.
What things do you enjoy seeing if you ever have spare time?
