More AQS Photos

Finally, more photos. Here you go:

First photo, I did not get the maker's name.
Second photo is by Mary Reinhardt, Jan Malmquist, and Dee Legvold.

Below: Best of Show by Kathi Carter

I checked the AQS web site for winners' names and was confused when I saw this one listed twice, with two different names and categories. So, this is made either by Margaret Solomon Gunn or Joann Webb.

First one below is by Elaine Krajenke Ellison. Second one below: I loved it and would have given it some kind of award if I'd been a judge. It is called Celtic Visions and is by Lily Kangas of Canada.

First below: by Karen Kirkland
Second: by Misik Kim (South Korea)
Third: by Rosalie Dace (South Africa)

Below: a detail of Ms Kim's quilt, second is by Deirdre McConathy, third one - I didn't get the maker's name

Below: my detail shots show the makers' names. These were both very cool.. such tiny pieces, and the second one is mostly done with thread for that great sky effect

I have a few more photos, but I think I'm going to stop with these. A person could go on and on.. such beautiful quilts and superb talent on display. It was awesome to see.

Gorgeous Quilts at AQS

As promised, here are more photos of quilts at the AQS show in Des Moines 2014. Feast your eyes!

First I am showing shots taken inside the condo we rented. Two friends are showing the prep work they did for the class they took. The dice are from a game which we adapted: "make a quilt block with your dice!" And there is a cool bridge over the river in Des Moines.

Next three photos are quilts for which I did not get the maker's name.. the close-up shot is just a close-up; I have no photo of the whole quilt.

This is Best of Show in the Modern Quilt category, made by Doris Brunnette and Trina Kirkvold.

First photo is the work we did in the class I took. My blocks are on the bottom right, the last two blocks in that row. For the next three I don't have the makers' names; the black background quilt was in a display of quilts from Egypt.

I loved this quilt from Netherlands!

Hope you have enjoyed these photos. Join me again in the next day or two to see more photos of gorgeous quilts from AQS.
