It’s in the history books. I haven’t seen any numbers, but I believe it was a great success. I was there for four hours on Saturday afternoon, and the attendance looked impressive. And the quilts? More than impressive. I believe, quality-wise and diversity-wise, it might just be our best show yet. As an example, here’s our Best of Show.
Best of Show, Quiltfest 2019
“Bountiful Basket of Flowers"
by Jeanette Glasscock
quilted by Melissa Martin
All of the flowers in the center and in all the little baskets are three dimensional. Oodles of work, patience, and talent went in to this one.
And there were many more just as impressive. In all, more than 300 quilts were displayed. And we had vendors and demonstrations, and special displays as well. Here are a few more pics.
This was one of my favorites. The technique is raw-edge appliqué or collage. I believe it’s one of Laura Heine’s patterns.
Wool Applique
Obviously I couldn’t photograph all 300-plus quilts. But these, I believe, are representative of the quality, beauty, and diversity of the show. I greatly overextended myself by staying so long. Mostly on my feet the whole time. I spent all of yesterday afternoon either on the couch or in bed. And this morning, the pain is still there, even when I’m off my feet. But I have to do a little bit of grocery shopping today. But then, all chores are on hold until I can walk straight again.
Tomorrow I’ll post our amazing and beautiful Quilts of Valor display.

What a dazzling array of wonderful, beautiful, and unique quilts of all sizes. Thank you so much for the delightful eye candy!
Hope you'll be feeling lots better soon.
It's blazing hot here and I'll be of to the post office in a moment. Perhaps I'll need a cooling shower and dry clothes when I get back home. :)
Hugs!

Thanks for sharing these photos. It looks like you have some very talented quilter in your area. I'm sorry to hear that attending the show was so tiring for you, but if you're like me you probably think it was worth it. Hope you are feeling back to normal tomorrow.
