My mother-in-law invited me along to the Tri-Cities Quilt Show this year. I’ve been to a quilt show once before, but I wasn’t sewing then nearly as much as I am now. My appreciation for design, piecing, and quilting is far, FAR higher than it was when I went to the quilt show a few years ago.
After spending the past year learning more about piecing quilts, reading blogs like Simplify, Sew4Home, Stitched in Color, and Film in the Fridge, my take on quilts and quilting is immensely changed. My mother-in-law is a long-arm quilter, as well, and so visits to family now usually involve me working on a quilt machine myself. And with quilters like Angela Walters on the scene, I think piecing and quilting is starting to regain traction among a younger crowd.
Anyway, before I get all philosophical on differences between generations of quilters, here are some photos of quilts that really caught my eye at the show.
