I was lucky enough to attend Quilt Festival again this year. I spent most of my time in the ScanNCut booth doing demos and answering questions. But when I could, I snuck out to go and visit the quilts. I took more than 1000 photos of the amazing quilts that were there. And I didn't even take pictures of everything! That's how many quilts there were!!! I was completely overwhelmed by the talent, creativity, ingenuity, skill, and dedication of the quilters and their artwork. Like paintings, quilts are so very different in real life. Scale and texture just don't translate through photos. Over the next few days I'm going to be sharing a portion of the 1000 photos I took. I've tried to include both close-ups and far away shots for atmosphere. I hope you enjoy the journey!
So much eye candy! See anything you like?
Thanks for stopping by!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I love the distressed red door and the one that features the every day folks working their jobs. Quite the overload of inspiring and delightful quilts…and it’s only part one. TFS Julie.

This is very cool what talent I’ve made my share of quilts nothing like this man it gets me thinking. That’s what I love about this site the fun to explore new stuff all the time to see what’s outside my very small world.

Talk about sensory overload! Perhaps having to spend time in your own booth actually prevented your brain from exploding! 🙂 Thanks for sharing these.

Goodness! I can’t even imagine seeing all of those quilts in person. How could a person possibly view it all in one day? Some of those quilts that look like pixels are amazing…how on earth can the quilter design it? Each tiny scrap of fabric. And yet, the huge designs are amazing too. I also loved the formal styles and the animals. I am just overwhelmed by your pictures. Thanks so much for sharing.

Wish I knew the names of some of these – the names can be so revealing. Thank you for sharing these with us – it’s been many years since I’ve been to a quilt show, and I can see they continue to evolve. They are art for sure.

This is just amazing! I’ve never seen quilts like this before — true works of art, for sure. The one I most covet for my own is the one with the black, white, yellow and grey quilt with the zebras and giraffe. My second favorite is the one in pointillist style with the blue tree.

Yrs ago my mom used to go to the quilt show in Houston and all I could think is “how can you spend a few days looking at quilts?” Then one year i went with some friends. OMG. The shopping was fun-the quilts were amazing pieces of art-thanks for sharing. When we went, they did not allow any photo’s so it’s great to see them via your blog~

The artistry in these quilts is amazing. Such detail. My local quilt show is about one hundred quilts all in traditional patterns. Thank you for sharing all this. Very inspiring. I just found out that my local quilt shop is closing down its physical store and going to online selling of fabric. I will greatly miss seeing and touching the actual fabric before buying and auditioning different fabrics for a finished piece.
