The quilt group that I attend made a mini bus trip to the Malvern Autumn Quilt Show last weekend and, whilst it was a long return journey, it was well worth it to see all the fabulous exhibits on display. There were also many excellent retailers in attendance with quite a few bargains available making us all very happy and our purses much lighter.
The skill and artistry that went into many pf the exhibits was astounding and this triple hanging had already won World Best in an American show.
Stephanie Crawford of South Gloucestershire was inspired to create this by a trip she made to China.
The three pieces of Lindisfarne are also made by Stephanie.
Quilts modern and traditional and here are several unusual and varied examples by Val Thomas
I loved this Attic Window by Elma Richmond. She found this perfect panel on a trip to America
Birds of the World by Gail Lowther of West Sussex
This random scrap quilt on one of the trade stands was so vibrant.
Spring's Magic by Val Thomas
Christine Porter of Bristol had so many gems on display
Blooms Birds and Berries was by Jean Coumbe
These patchwork clocks are such a novel idea and look quite simple to make.
Irene Wilcox bought some beautiful silk on her holiday and transformed it into this Goan Beauty.
This huge panel of 1 inch hexagons was so effective and a lovely backdrop to one of the trade stands.
We really enjoyed the visit to Malvern and now look forward to Harrogate at the end of November.
wow!! what glorious quilts - quite worth a long journey.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, I love Quilt shows and this one looks like a beaut! Glad you had fun. I only wish I'd have made the effort myself as it looks well worth it, Jo x
ReplyDeleteAmazing. What labours of love Jo. Each and every one different and all stunning. When I read your comments on my blog I was thinking to myself....why didn't you call in for coffee....until I saw that you were a coach load! :-) think even I would struggle with a coach load.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your gorgeous photos Jo. Very inspiring if only I didn't have several projects on the go at the mo.
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow, what amazing examples! No wonder you enjoyed it, these are true wonders and well worth the journey I would think!
ReplyDeleteWhile I am here, please forgive me to ask you something. You may have heard of Paloma, the paper dove of peace that is travelling the world. She is with me right now. However, before reaching me she lost the little book with all the names and address of the people that signed up to host her. Alison Bomber told me that she seemed to remember you were one of the people who had signed up. Could you let me know please, and if so can you let me have your address? Thanks so much! You can contact me via my blog.
