The Loom Quilt & Fiber Guild show, 2024

April 25, 2024

 

The theme for the Loomis Quilt and Fiber Guild Show this year was “A Wonderland of Quilts” and it was a colorful show! There were lots of bags and other fiber creations, making it an interesting and varied show.

I always have such a hard time culling my photos; I try to keep it to 40 photos because, well…..40! I get angsty as I try to narrow it down. Enjoy the show! BTW, this is not a juried or judged show, no ribbons.

Scrappy Rainbow 9-Patch; Jennifer Ivey, quilted by Anabel Ivey

Brilliant color!

Cruising With My Peeps; Shari Bahr

Love the low volume prints and contrast.

Floral Lattice; Debbie Weikle; quilted by Bruce Cornelius

Beautiful applique.

Just so pleasantly Amish in its quilting and colors.

What a fun take on a house quilt!

Lovely interpretation of Amish design using brights.

The background fabric was a great choice for the applique.

Sweet quilt that looks so much better than my photo!

And there were so many bags and wearables:

I’d love to have either of these!

Getaway Bag; Lisa Cornelius

Laughed at her label “This took forever”!

Disappearing Troubles; Tamera J. Failla

What a great collection of indigo prints! It’s beautiful combined with the denim.

Crocheted Pin Cushion; Kathy Mullaney

Exquisite. I love to see “fiber” pieces at a quilt show.

I love everything about this – the colors and the design.

Running with Scissor & Take A Stand; Judy Middleton

I’d love to have these also! I don’t have the patience.

Ruler Wrap Bag; Judy Middleton; quilted by Bruce Cornelius

Just for her rulers!

Dancing in the Dark; Featured Artist Kathy Mullaney

I had a lovely chat with the Featured Artist Kathy Mullaney who is indeed a true artist. Her display was varied but you felt the heart in each piece. This is about surviving the lockdowns, feeling isolated and invisible. The left hand side of the dress is secured by a hook and eye and the dress can be removed, revealing the woman.

Puppy Love 1 & 2; Featured Artist Kathy Mullaney

I see the love and joy in these portraits!

My Happy Quilt; Sandy Standridge

Saved this for last for the title, “My Happy Quilt” because after all, quilting makes us happy!

I hope you enjoyed the show! I’ll be linking up to:

Nina-Marie’s Off the Wall Friday

    What a colourful and eclectic show! I confess, the wee tea pots and the piggies were my favourites. They made me smile!

    Hi Jenny, on the “Birthday Quilt for Brooklyn” Lucille Heidbreder is the 11 year old maker and quilter. I think my name is all over the card because I sponsored the entry. And it was a joy to help her experience all the “feelz” of her first quilt and quilt show.

      THANK YOU! I just changed it to reflect the maker. It is such a cool quilt!
