Gainesville Quilt Show

November 18, 2009 by Debbie.

A friend and I went out to Gainesville, Tx for their quilt show last Sat. Below are few of the quilts that caught my eye. This first one I liked as it will work great for the Foster Kids’ quilts.

This one was called “Hello Doilie” and I loved it. It’s on my ‘to do’ list now!

Well, you can tell I like the simple, old fashioned type of quilt! This one was much brighter and more cheerful looking in person. It was very homey and spring looking. It’s probably on my to-do list, too.

This last one, called Bullwinkle, is definitely not on my to-do list. I can’t even begin to imagine how someone did this one but it is breath-taking. Pictures don’t do it justice. My friend and I both thought it deserved top in the show and were amazed (puzzled!) why it got a white ribbon instead of best of show. You can better tell from the second picture how detailed the moose is - all the different colors are different pieces of fabric.

I expected to see Bullwinkle wink at me, he was so lifelike!
