This past weekend my
daughter, a friend and I went to the Pacific International QuiltFestival. It was fantastic, overwhelming, too large to absorb in one
day. My daughter took almost 200 photos, she usually takes a photo of
the quilt, then another of the info card; so I have lots of photos to
post. So here are some of the quilts we enjoyed.
My heart lies in Afric, by Mandy Kirk
Nioppon Irish Chain, by Tamaris Pardo
Liked how she used decorative stitches across the chains for quilting lines.
Birch Grove, by Anne Loveless
The field Mouse's Habitat, by Vonda Mathews
Funny with the felt Cheez-its. Amazing detail and three dimensional.
Star Burst, by Mieke Apps
Loved this. Blue ribbon for "Best use of color"

Thanks for sharing some photos of PIQF. I haven't been for about 8 years, and sometimes I miss going to see the quilts. It is completely overwhelming and mind-boggling. Lots of photos and time to peruse them later is a big help. You can review them in small bites!
Love the first one - wonderful Improv - and the last one - fantastic colors and color shift in this quilt! - the best, but they're all super.
Decorative stitches don't always feed well through the layers so she had a big task quilting that way. It does look nice. It looks like it was a great show.
When I read posts like this it always makes me wish I get get to the US to visit some of these shows for myself. Since that's not happening, I'm so grateful to be able to enjoy the photos instead.
