Northern Stars Do It Again!

Hats off to the NY guild, Northern Star, for putting on a great quilt show each and every year!  I don't know how they do it, but they do it beautifully.

Please respect the quilters by not pinning these photos.  I was unable to get verbal approval to post these photos, and have taken every step to credit the work.  If anyone sees her quilt and does not want it included please contact me and I'll remove it.

Here is my Best in Show -  YoYo City
I think it is so creative and lively and fun!

They had a Red & White challenge exhibit inspired by the Infinite Variety show in NYC in 2011.

Well done!!

Isn't this clever!  It worked, but not on my phone.

This was another favorite feature of the show for me.

This was my top pick - A dress  (address, love word play)

 

This was the big winner - Congratulations Bethany!  Her work is always visually stunning and her workmanship is perfection.

 I loved the way this quilter did a different design in each area of the quilt.  This one is bamboo.

And my favorite the horse and horse fencing - so creative~

I tip my hat to Steven, who worked on this appliqué quilt on the train!

Hope you enjoyed the show!  See anything that inspires you?

Northern Star Quilters Shine Again!

Happy Friday!

Last Sunday I took a drive with my friend, Pauline, to Somers NY for the Annual, yes, Annual Northern Star Quilters Quilt Show.  These ladies put a show on each and every year and I say hats off to them!

They hold it the weekend before Mother's Day, or the first weekend in May.

Here are some of my favorites:

 

Very pretty color scheme and wonderful quilting.

This is such a graphic and striking pattern, especially from a distance.

Beautiful feather quilting here

 

What a pretty basket quilt, I love the 2 sizes.

Yea, a selvage quilt!!  I looks like she painted the letters on.  So clever and super fun!

I love the sense (cents) of humor here, ha ha pun.  She has affixed token of all kinds to her "token art quilt".  So funny and well done.

There was also a display of several antique quilts, which was a treat.  This is a great GFG, I think.

Of course, I love this nine patch beauty with the streak of lightening setting.  Great fabric study!

This was a very happy and colorful quilt

 

 

As part of my Cinco de Mayo menu last night, I decided to try the Skinny Girl Margharita.  I have a 2 word endorsement:   Oh Yes!

Whether you are gardening, sewing or spending time with family or friends, I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.

Barbara Brackman did a post on my 2 recent Civil War themed projects.  I was very honored, as she is the leading authority in all things related to Civil War era quilting .  Click here to see it.
