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....

QuiltCon 2017 in Savannah, Ga

At QuiltCon 2017 with my Qdad entry "Windows and Angles". It was such a fun event! The lectures I went to great especially the one by Elizabeth Hartman....great pattern designer. 

 

I'm back home now and reviewing photos of favorite quilts. Of course one was the Best of Show.... The maker pictured was from Tasmania!

 

And Abe Lincoln, improv pieced was just amazing

 

This one reminded me of my cool cats, Jack and Jon. Likely my sister cat sat for me....thank you J2.
