A couple of weeks ago now, some friends and I went to a little outdoor quilt show that is put on by Lorraine Stagness every two years. Here are their pictures.
Here are some of the pictures I took.
I love blue and yellow. I also love quilts with movement.
This one is just stunning. Plus I really like the look of flying geese going around in a circle.
Every time I see chickens I can't help but think of chookyblue and take a picture. See the mice in the barn?
Isn't the applique stunning? I have a quilts like this in my future. (At some point after Nearly Insane and Dear Jane are done. :)
This is another one with great movement. Plus, I now notice pinwheels everywhere. (We have a quilter in our guild that is pinwheel crazy)
This one is just so bright and I love all the spiky bits.
This one, I just couldn't resist the colours. I love all of these more folk arty colours together.
I love how they used the piping and created the wavy design.
I'm just a sucker for optical illusions in quilting.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures of the show. Can you believe that all these quilts are made by one lady and her two sisters? And that they put on a show (about 200 quilts) every two years?

Great quilts! Kristy and I enjoyed seeing them again!
Beautiful Is this near Calgary? Next time I want to go too!
I love the applique in the center of the 4th quilt pictured. It is really neat. I also always like the circles of flying geese. Thanks for sharing. We all get ideas I'm sure from others quilts.

I love love love the folky art colours one :) As I get older I am finding my colour palette is moving towards the more autumny colours.
Hope things are good with you - freezing down here as mid winter and sick to death of it :(
