Roseville Quilters Guild Show 2017
The Roseville Quilters Guild show is about as close to me as it gets-less than a 5 minute drive! I had not been to their show in a few years and it has dramatically changed for the better. They now meet in a larger location, which draws a lot more members. Also, their new location is a bright and spacious church facility that has a great layout and lighting and room for some fabulous vendors. I have lectured at the guild and taught several times also, so it was a treat to see all the beautiful quilts and quilting of people I recognized.
I must have been losing battery life because many of my shots were impossibly fuzzy. I was only able to spend 90 minutes at the show as my new little Basset Boy was at home! So here we go:
Oh I loved this one-the colors, the design, the quilting! Sadly not only is my photo fuzzy but the card photo was too fuzzy to read.
Bev saw this at an Alaskan quilt shop and made it as a reminder of her trips up north.
Another one that the card photo was too fuzzy to read. Sorry Jill, but I love this quilt! And it is serene and lovely.
I loved everything about this quilt-the “round Log Cabin” design, her use of well-placed and varied greens, and the quilting-oh my! The quilting really makes this work. And by the way, every circle was a start and stop-every single one!
Leslie was inspired by Judy Niemeyer’s Bali Wedding Star. She did foundation piece it and quilted it on her long arm. Although it was made for her daughter and son-in-law, apparently it’s too hard to part with…
Lin used the “Metro Rings” pattern by Sew Kind of Wonderful. What a perfect choice to show off her exquisite quilting-oh that luscious texture!
Oh a scrappy quilt! Jane hand appliqued the center block using a pattern by Lori Smith-beautiful! I love it when the quilting enhances the quilt and does not overshadow.
Gig used her Mary Englebreit fabrics left over from a French Braid to construct her quilt. It hung around in her closet for a few years before she decided to give it Leisha to quilt. The quilting is gorgeous!
When she saw this pattern in a book, Jenny knew she had to make it-I see why! It took her a year to finish-such a charming quilt.
Connie used piecing, applique and paper piecing that she learned from a class at Quilter’s Corner. Oh those happy colors!
This is from a Fig Tree pattern, Summertime in the Hill Country. Love how she quilted this-all that negative space is beautifully quilted!
Patty’s quilt was from a mini challenge using an Edyta Sitar pattern-love those whimsical colors and the fluttery effect they give!
Candy used a Joe Wood pattern and Daiwabo fabrics from her collection, as well as fabric she purchased while visiting Japan. Her lucky daughter will get this quilt when she moves back to Japan. I love the different patterns and whimsical color choices she made.
I forgot to take a photo of the card because I was talking with Lynda. She made this quilt for her parent’s bed-it’s a huge quilt! Almost as soon as it was done and she gave it to them, they got another bed and it did not fit. It is stunning and she really used the blooming nine-patch technique to great effect.
Kathy attended a Dream Retreat with Eleanor Burns where she got to use a Destiny Embroidery machine. The fabric was provided and she chose her embroidery designs and thread. Brave girl-she chose metallic thread!
So simple, so beautiful! Leisha did not want those windmills to touch-that provided ample space to show off her quilting. And the addition of the aqua inset-perfect.
Joan took a class with Janet Ford on a recent cruise. This quilt is the result of the time she was able to spend with Janet figuring out the details. Janet loves to curved piece-can you tell? Really lovely quilting highlights the dragon peeking out of the tree.
Ack, I forgot to take a photo of the card. Laurel has taken several of my classes and she remarked that now she has the confidence to quilt her own quilts-yippeeee Laurel!! She did a great job and even quilted in some Big Foot motifs. When I see a student go off and make their own beautiful work, my heart almost bursts!
Betty created this from a design she saw in Block magazine. I love its almost Modern feel and the vibrant colors she chose.
Joan took the pattern from her Alaskan cruise that called for primary colors, and instead used 11 shades of gray. The ruler work really helps make this quilt shine!
My photo of the card was blurry so I don’t have Bev’s comments, but you gotta love this Halloween quilt. The embroideries are charming and spooky!
If any of you can fill in the blanks for me of quilts whose card was fuzzy, please write me and I will add that to the post. Don’t you just love a great quilt show? Roseville Quilters Guild, that was a fabulous show!
I always link up to Nina-Marie’s Off the Wall Friday where she generously allows us to post links to our blogs so that we get a wider audience. You should check out the links!
Thanks again Jenny for spending the time to take photos and posting them.
My pleasure Paula-it was a great show and it was in my backyard!
LOVE the wedding quilt!
Yes Franki! Quiet, edited, unique and gorgeous detail!
Thank you for the great review of the Roseville Quilt Show! Your photos brought back sweet memories of seeing such beautiful quilts. I took a non-quilting friend to the show and it was very interesting to note the differences in what drew each of us to a particular quilt. I absolutely loved all the wonderful quilting on display whereas the use of color is what my friend most enjoyed!
Thank for the comment Brenda. Oh I love to go to a show with a non-quilter! I see the quilts from a different view and it’s fun and refreshing.
Such beautiful quilts and the quilting on them is over-the-top! Thanks so much for posting these.
Thanks Peggy-you would have loved it!
Wow! Thanks for sharing. It gives me the urge to make a traditional quilt!!
Debby: I know! Seeing the beauty of some of the more traditional quilts wakes up that side of me also.
Belle exposition très diversifiée
Thank you Marianne-yes, it was a fabulous show!
Beautiful quilts! Thanks for sharing them.
Oh so glad you enjoyed them Norma-I did too and it was a pleasure to share!
Oh my gosh! That Dragon in the Willows quilt is the most original clam shell quilt I’ve ever seen. So clever! This looks like it was a great show with a wide variety of quilting styles on display. Too bad it wasn’t pooch friendly so you could have spent more time there. You could always make your puppy a little quilted orange vest and try to pass him off as a service dog… ;-)
It was a really cool quilt Rebecca Grace! I don’t think I’ll be trying to pass off this puppy as a Service Dog, giggle!
The card said : “I quite enjoy curved piecing. Good thing to as Discworld is made almost exclusively a clamshells. This pattern was a class offered on a recent cruise to Alaska. The ‘at sea ‘ days afforded enough time with the instructor, Janet Ford, to learn how to do the multiple fabric details of the eyes eyebrows and the breaks between the tree and the dragon. ”
As an additional note I’d like to add that I really enjoyed quilting this quilt. It was important to me to make the dragon peek out of the leaves of the tree.
Thank you Joan! I updated the post to reflect your comments. Really cool quilt!!
