Oaks show in Review (2012)

Happy Monday.  On Friday Pauline and I tool a little drive to PA to see a quilt show and today I'm sharing my favorites.

I must say that I really enjoy the older patterns and traditional quilts more and more.  A sign of age?  Perhaps.

This just says "aahhh" to me.




This came out a bit fuzzy, sorry.  I loved this scene.


each rock has been hand stitched.  Incredible.  Inspiring.



This would look so fabulous in my Living room - wonderful!



 This needs further study - I love the color combinations.



 What a charming pig Dottie is!  Well done!



This was a fabulous display of War of 1812 soldier cot quilts.  I wish I had been part of this challenge.    You can read more about it here.


 This was my favorite.



 Here are a few more from the display -


I bought a few Fat Quarters and a weighted hoop designed by Sharon Schamber to aid in machine quilting.  I'm sure it will revolutionize my technique.  I'll report on it soon.


**I have received 2 emails from a reader and there is no sender on the email.  You have asked about the purple toile that my friend used.  It is:  Marcus Brothers, Faye Burgos.
I hope this helps.  In future please leave a comment with your email so I can answer your questions directly - thanks - barb **
