Saturday I attended the East Bay Heritage Quilters Show. As usual, this show was impeccably set up and organized. In general, I thought the quilts were a lot more interesting than the last show in 2008<\/a>. Much less brown as well.<\/p>\n

\"Evening<\/a>

It is hard to decide what my favorite quilt of the show was, but I think it was probably Evening Star by Karin Lusnak. The thing I like about it is that there is a lot of movement and interest.<\/p>\n

She did the same thing I have done using the mosaic quiltmaking<\/a> technique of Shannon Williams. It looks like she made fabric using her scraps and then cut the patches for the Evening Star from that new fabric.<\/p>\n

\"Model<\/a>

I love the angles of the houses in this quilt. The colors are also fresh and clear.<\/p>\n

\"Posies<\/a>

The turquoise\/aqua and red combination are one that has been attracting me lately. I also thought the flower designs were quite cheerful. These flowers may be from a Piece ‘O Cake or Pat Sloan pattern. I have always liked the layered circles motif, which can be seen in the border of this quilt.<\/p>\n

\"Imagine<\/a>

There are a lot of things I like about this quilt. The artist does a nice job not exactly reproducing the photograph which was the inspiration. The blue and green are abstract enough to evoke a feeling of nature without exactly duplicating the photo. The main part I like in this quilt is the technical details of the border. I don’t much like uneven borders, because they often floop down when hanging. Ms. Kaplan has resolved this issue with the white border. Her uneven border accents the quilt and adds movement without causing a hanging problem. Nice work!<\/p>\n

\"Circles<\/a>

Corless Smith did a great job with these circles. The layers of fabric and the blanket stitch are very appealing. It has a vintage look even though a number of the fabrics are modern.<\/p>\n

The small circles also add interest. The scallop type border could be a hanging problem but isn’t, which I appreciate.<\/p>\n

\"Pedestrian<\/a>
Pedestrian Friendly by Pat Dicker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The artist, Pat Dicker, writes about this quilt “Sue Garman’s charming Block fo the Month appealed to me, but rather than use the browns, olives and grays as suggested, I turned to my bright ‘dot’ drawer and found inspiration. I also chose to exclude the cars of the pattern and create a ‘Pedestrian Friendly’ community. ” All good choices IMO! You would not be looking at this quilt if she had made it in “browns, olives and grays.” This is a wonderful quilt in the dots and brights. I also like it that she changed the pattern to suit her vision. How do you like the whale?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
