QuiltCon 2019

I had a great time at QuiltCon 2019 in Nashville. The weather was dreary, rainy, and chilly for this Florida girl. We stayed across the street from the convention center and could dash across easily. I totally loved so many quilts at this show! The catagories are so different from a regular show, here there is negative space, traditional made modern, improv, piecing, minimalism, handwork, etc. The quilts are arranged in zigzag aisles so they are easy to view...no little 3 sided booths. 
I am lucky to quilt for Carole Lyles Shaw on two of the three quilts she had in the show. 
Mid-Century Modern


Triangle Joy


The Charity Quilt display was just fantastic this year! Guilds choose to enter this category for display then the quilt is returned to be donated to the charity of their choice or raffled and money donated.
My fave charity quilt...


Victoria Findlay Wolf quilts in Traditional to Modern were so interesting! Side by side photo of same “Cascade” design, one more traditional and one more improv? Maybe?


I went to five lectures and one class. The class was by Jodi Robinson who won Best Machine (frame) Quilting Award. Pretty Amazing!



Meanwhile back in Florida the cat sitters were napping on the job....
