Yesterday we looked at the first half of my favorites from the “In Full Bloom” exhibit at the International Quilt Festival. Here is part two…..
This was a tribute to the 114-year old house that the artist calls home!!
Spring is definitely the theme of this one…..
This quilt is made from a “Laundry Basket Quilt” pattern and includes beaded piping from “The Devil is in the Details” by Bethanne Nemish.
This technique was all the rage through out the show……
Look at the quilting…..so much wonderful texture……
This next quilt was made when the artist wanted to master applique…..
It is based on the pattern “Garden Party Down Under”.
Her intent was to make this look like a painting and achieved that goal by cutting the fabrics out with scissors and then machine quilting.
The folded tulips are sweet in this next quilt…..
…..but I really love the dyed fabric in the center…..
…and the path leading into the field!
Machine appliqued “Broderie Perse” was used in this quilt….
What is Broderie Perse you may ask…..
It is a technique where elements, such as flowers or birds, are cut from fabric and appliqued onto a solid piece of fabric to make a scene.
For example, these flowers would have been cut out of another piece of fabric and then made part of this top…..
So…that’s it for “In Full Bloom” .
As with all of the categories/exhibits, there were many other quilts shown but these were my favorites!!
Come back tomorrow and we will do a video tour of some of the amazing Machine Quilting
