Last weekend I attended the Houston International Quilt Market.
It always wonderful to peruse the vendor booths to see what’s new and exciting.
But my favorite part is always the QUILTS! I snapped so many pictures of quilts to share and I thought I’d done a good job of including pics of the documentation of each quilt so I could properly attribute it’s maker. Unfortunately, several of the documentation shots did not come out clearly enough to read. I must have been trembling with excitement when I shot those. Sigh… So I won’t be posting those pics until I can do the research and discovery of the makers.
Here are a few of my favorites that I can share:
Documentation:
The documentation on Windblown by Maria Elkins is too fuzzy to be worth posting…and the bottom of it got cut off. Here is what I can read:
This quilt is inspired by a dear friend who has stood firm and remained joyful despite the various challenges she has had to face in her young life. As the quilt developed I decided to combine her beautiful image with a traditional quilt block — Windblown Star — and wind like feathers. Techniques: Hand drawn, hand painted, embellished, machine quilted.
