The first week of May, three vaccinated friends and I set forth on a journey. Our destination and purpose, Archbold, Ohio, to view the quilts exhibited at the 2021 Sauder Quilt show.
I did take pictures of the Best of Show quilts but I'm not going to highlight them. The pictures in the link are better than what I took, Best of Show Quilts. Most of the quilts I'm highlighting didn't win a ribbon, but a lot of them did.
I took photos of quilts and also the information about the quilt. I don't know how to make the information appear next to the side of the quilt picture so the information about the quilt appears underneath the photo.
I'll make a few comments about some of the quilts and no, I didn't only take pictures of the blue and white quilts.
This quilt is one that is on my list of to be made quilts.
As the spring season slowly emerges, I love the variety of green that appears as the soil slowly wakes up. I always think I need to make a green quilt.
I loved this quilt, it's hand quilted! So many ideas for me to use in the future.
This is also another quilt on my someday list.
And a close up of Cheryl's quilt.
There were so many beautiful quilts at the show. I could have taken pictures of a hundred more quilts.
I really think this was their best quilt show ever!
There were several quilts on the display in the lobby made by the quilt shop but I only took pictures of these two. Kits were available for purchase.
I had a wonderful day out with my friends. We dined at the Barn Restaurant, it was so nice to eat a hot meal that I didn't have to cook! On the way home we stopped in Angola, Indiana at the Angola Quilt Shop. Lynn and I indulged in some fabric therapy while there.

ReplyDeleteWow, what a great collection of intricate quilt designs. Those are the kind I drool over, but know I'd never have the patience or skill to make.

ReplyDeleteHi Gretchen! What a fabulously fun outing. Some of those quilt pictures are just so beautiful. Even the most simple of them makes me want to make a version. And, spending priceless time with your friends over a hot meal not cooked by you is the frosting on the cake. {{Hugs}} So glad you were able to do this and share with us! ~smile~ Roseanne

ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a wonderful day out. I missed the Pigeon Forge show because I didn't even know it was being held this year. Been a long time since I've been to a show and who knows how much longer. Sometimes I get inspiration and sometimes I get overwhelmed at shows.
ReplyDeleteSo Glad you had a wonderful day. These quilts are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! I'm so glad you got to attend a live quilt show, and it looks like there were incredible quilts on display. Thank you so much for sharing the show with us!
