Quilt show

Maemae and I met Mom and Sonya at the Clark County Quilt show a couple weeks ago and perused the quilts hanging up with awe while wondering where the women (and a few men) find the time to make such creations. Maemae slept through the show after eating and managing to stay awake for about 10 minutes. But I enjoyed the time being toddler free and able to take my time and not have to rush like the last quilt show we went to with Peanut before Maemae was here.

I took a few pictures of my favorites. None of these are my creations, but they do give me tons of inspirations. And I get hope from them that once my kiddos are in school (if we're not homeschooling) I'll have some time to expand my quilting comfort zone and become more detailed in my quilting.

My favorite and just my style. I did take a close up of the quilter's information that had the pattern's name in it for one of my next purchases.

Simple-ish and very springtime-y.

I stared and stared at this one and could not make my eyes see that it is only 2 dimensions. We were given white gloves when we entered so we could touch and we did....a lot.

I really like this design and have seen many variations, but really don't have a burning desire to make my own. It kind makes my head hurt after a while because I try to figure out where each block is and it's not a block pattern. From what I understand, how it's sewn and cut is where the design comes from. Pretty but not my thing I guess.

Can't wait until another quilt show is in my area to go get inspiration from. They certainly do give me a boost to get working at my machine again.
