You have a Jean Wells! How did I not know that?
ReplyDeleteIt was part of the "Small Wonders" challenge at the 2012 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show and was a ribbon winner for best use of color. That was the challenge I entered to surprise my mother...the one in which I got the Viewer's Choice ribbon my first time showing a quilt.
DeleteWas a great lecture and show! My favorite is the red and white Prince's Feather, followed by the 70's crazy quilt!
ReplyDeleteAfterwards I was thinking of how much of a spectacle it must've been to see these large quilts being unfolded and filingl the front of the room.
DeleteWhat a wonderful peek at an impressive collection there's such a great variety represented here!
ReplyDeleteUsually, I present quilts in much more of a linear, chronological order. It was fun to be a little more adventurous and spontaneous. Many of these quilts had not been part of any of my lectures before, so it was something a little different. That worked well, since there were people in the audience who have attended my lectures before.
DeleteThe 1930s pictorial guilt is amazing. I've been thinking about using traditional patchwork to develop a scene myself. What great inspiration. Thank you Bill!
ReplyDeleteHello Bill ! I'm French and I saw on Lori's blog a ......boutis ? The big one in white ! Our grandmothers made them in Provence....but maybe I'm wrong.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these awesome quilts ! :)
I love that double wedding ring quilt!
ReplyDeleteOOOhhhh it's a toss up between the crazy quilt and tango garden for me!
