Georgia Celebrates Quilts – Part 4

Thank you for traveling with me thru the Georgia Celebrates Quilts show put on by the East Cobb Quilt Guild in Atlanta, Georgia. Today, we will finish up our trip.

This fun quilt was made by a first-time paper piecer….

This is a sensational hand (needle-turned) applique…

This is another wonderful animal applique….but Australian animals this time…..

Even more amazing is that she designed these blocks herself. Aren’t they wonderful!!

I also admired this quilt with it’s bright colors and excellent quilting….

Just look at these flowers….

Now I arrived at the area that I was looking forward to and found a woman photographing my quilt…..

HOW EXCITING!!

This is the first time that I have seen this quilt displayed and I think that it held up well….

I enjoyed the colors and design of this quilt….

and you HAVE to see this next quilt up close…..

I know that it LOOKS like it is made of 60-degree diamonds, but NO!!!! It is made of TINY, 1/2-inch hexies…..

….some with a even tinier circle appliqued in the center!

She said that it took over 12 years to complete.

It was also fun to see “More Milkweed Please” displayed in a show…..

One of my favorites in the applique division was this incredibly quilted piece…..

White thread on the blue background allowed the quilting to shine….

Then there was THIS quilt…..

All of the blocks are hand stitched using reverse applique!! Oh my!!

There were two quilts by another member of our guild, starting with this AMAZING Cathedral Window….

Sue also presented this gorgeous sunset…..

She used some fantastic techniques to depict the driftwood and sand!!

I was nearing the end of the show but still had to see another of Rosie’s quilts…..

This quilt was made for our guild “Drunkard’s Path” challenge and made use of hand-made Shisha, and embroidery thread covered metal jump rings.

Rosie has the MOST AMAZING imagination and ideas!!

Well, that will end our tour of the “Georgia Celebrates Quilts” show for 2024. It is as biennial show so we will look forward to 2026!!

What shows are you participating in???

One of my favorite things about quilting is motivating others and helping them in their quilting journey. As part of this endeavor, I LOVE to present programs and workshops to groups and guilds around the world. All of my programs work well with Zoom meetings, and I would love to speak to your group.
