Two of my friends, one from each job, both has quilts in this show. I snapped pics of some of my favorites and thought I'd share.. knowing there's some quilters and other artists that can appreciate them as much as I did!

Oooo! Thanks you for showing those!

I love quilts. I don't sew at all.  I have a friend that does them, but she's always so backed up with family requests I don't think she'll ever get around to being able to do one for me (I'm even paying for it).  

The craftsmanship shown in those photos is really wonderful.

They're quite stunning!

I just went to a huge craft show with many quilts and there were equally inventive ways of telling people to keep their hands off!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I recently found a local quilter who sews by hand. I may visit her sometime to see how she works and hopefully, pick it up too some day.

that would be great, Anne!

My friend was showing me around, explaining the difference in the quilts, the difference in fabrics and such. If I had time, I would like to make a quilt. But time and space is of essence!

What beautiful quilts! I really like that bag, too. I wouldn't use it, but I would hang it on a door knob in the house as a decoration. Gorgeous
