Quilt Show

The East Bay Heritage Quilters puts on a big show, "Voices in Cloth," every two years,  and  I went to the 2016 show a week ago.  Much to see--vintage quilts, new quilts by members, booths of vendors selling all kinds of stuff.  It was rainy outside the Craneway Pavilion in Pt. Richmond, but inside there was a lot of action.


The guild asks that no quilt photos be published without permission of the quilters, so my relatively few pictures are of quilts made by women in my mini-group, the No Problem Quilters, who were happy to give permission.  I thought their quilts were among the best at the show, no bias, of course.

Crosswalk Variation 1, Claudia Alldredge.  Quilted by Angie Woolman.

Japanese Lattice, Ann Rhode.  Quilted by Angie Woolman.

Angie did a remarkable job of machine-quilting.  Look at the back:

Off to iron the fabric I bought:
