eye candy from two quilt shows
I am just going to share one more quilt with you from the festival of quilts that was made by my dear friend Cheryl who not only is a quilter but also has a degree in theatre costume design and makes wonderful wedding dresses. Cheryl has just completed her city & guilds in patchwork and is about to start the diploma course at Missenden , her tutor is Barbara Weeks. Her inspiration came from the Virginia Creeper that grows in her garden. All the fabric was dyed by Cheryl
Now onto Harrogate quilt show, this is the winner of the pieced section and also won the award as favourite of one of the judges and a merit from the judges. I am privileged to also know the lady who made this. Liz is a member of the Yorkshire Modern Quilters Guild that I also belong to and this quilt was made to celebrate the tour de France that started here in Yorkshire
here are a few more of my favourites from the show

Thank you, real eye candy that is.
I must say I do get rather inspired by the more contempory hilts, saying that the hours and hours that's poured into them is amazing :) xxx
a nice variety. love those trees.
Lots of great quilts! I really need to get to a quilt show sometime in the next year. So inspiring. Good luck with finishing your quilt. Can't wait to see it.
It is always great to see pictures from the shows - thank you for sharing these, such a great variety! I'm looking forward to seeing your quilt!
Thank you for sharing Cheryl's quilt. It was even more impressive 'in the flesh' with the subtle grading in the hand dyed fabric. While talking to her I realised how extensive her knowledge of theatre costumes is, and I am sure she will enjoy the next challenge.
The selection of quilts you showed has so much variety, and plenty of inspiration.
Good luck with the washing of the quilt!
Thank you for sharing the quilt show with us! Cheryl's quilt is lovely!
Just love the third one - is it called colour fusion? The trees are fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you ,these quilts are beautiful. I love the quilt of your friend Cheryl.

As always, some great quilts :-), but

Thanks for your compliments Margaret! I'm looking forward to your reveal having had a sneak preview today, the quilting has transformed It!

Beautiful Quilts . Marvel at the patience these artists have in sewing all the beautiful pieces so perfectly and creating such lovely masterpieces ! Loved the quilt with those trees .
Beautiful quilts, and they become extra special when you know the people behind them
Thank you for the eye candy they are beautiful. Take a photo before you put it in the wash I use colour catches when I wash any of my quilts even if they have been washed several times.
