Livestock Show Quilts

One of my favorite exhibits each year at the International Quilt Festival is the “Houston Livestock Show” quilts!! This year was no exception…..

“Drragon Star” by Stephanie Tarver, quilted by Cathy Tullos

These Judy Neimeyer quilts always shine, and I love the coloration of this one. She said that the colors reminded her of Texas!!

It is also beautifully quilted…..

“Pixelated Spring Vase” by Anglea McKenzie, quilted by Ted & Cheryl Tessitore

I am not sure which is more impressive……the 2,300 2.5-inch squares precisely placed into the flower vase or the wonderful quilting that adds so much to the design!


Flora & Friends” by Noreen Borys

This is from Emily Taylor’s collage pattern called “Garden Party”. The blocks are beautifully collaged and the quilting is the perfect accompaniment!!

“Two Chicks” by Missy Klimitchek

This was the logo designed by two friends as they opened a quilt shop together, and it is SO DARN CUTE!!

I especially laugh at the expressions on their faces!!

“Color My World” by Sally Robinson, quilted by Helen Rode

I love how people personalize this particular design. In this case, she added a NASA rocket because both she and her husband both worked there.

I also appreciated the center that she included…..

There are a few more to see, so come back tomorrow!!
