Kid Friendly Quilts at Expo

Raleigh Sew & Quilt Expo Post #2:


One of the four quilt exhibits was an international competition. All the quilts were to be shaped like a house and had to do with the theme of home. They quilts were going to be auctioned off at some point as some fundraiser (sorry, I didn't read all the details). Besides being impressed with the wide variety of interpretations of the theme, I kept wishing all my kid friends were with me to see some of the entries. So I took pictures for them instead:

Based on the movie Up

This one was definitely 3D!
My favorite of the three mice houses.

And I included this one just because I like the old lady, and it's about quilting. :)

The black outline doesn't show up on the black showcurtain too well,  but it' s earth and the sun.This one reminded me of my artist friend Sara Mincy because she makes those little circle things (can't remember what they're called at the moment) as well as folds fabric/paper. Very creative!
Even though I lived in an apartment building for 4 years and a dorm for 4 years, I seldom think of a cityscape when I think of a place to live.
And last from my favorites of the housing exhibit: a barn!

And while this last quilt was part of the McCall's favorite patterns Exhibit, it made me laugh, and I thought all my young (and young at heart) blog readers would like it. :)
