It’s been many years since I’ve been to the Glendale quilt guilds’ show. It used to be at the Marriot near the Burbank Airport, these days it’s at the Pasadena Convention center. Although it is a small show, there were wonderful quilts to see.
This is a very traditional guild. The modern quilts on view are actually from the Valley MQG. So I’ll be showing some of my favorites that clearly fall into the traditional category. I didn’t take down any of the names of the makers, sorry. Applique is certainly a big draw for me these days. From very traditional…
… to art quilts.
Here is a great example of how the quilting enhances the object. Sure this reads as a hand, but with the quilting, all the details of the hand are present as well.
This is lovely, not something I’d ever make, but something I can enjoy and appreciate.
This on the other hand, looks like something I’d like to adapt. It is called Baltimore Sea by Sherryl Zurek. At first glance, it’s a traditional Baltimore album quilt.
On closer inspection, most of the elements are from the sea, seahorses, turtles, and seashells.
An octopus!
I like the combination of piecing and applique.
I’m trying to pay more attention to the quilting itself.
Here is the ultimate in a traditional medallion quilt. Applique, piecing, very simple somber colors. I’m glad it won a ribbon.
Pineapples, very different from the pineapple block quilt I have been working on.
As are these roosters by Harriet Sartinsky.
Any quilt show is a good show, I’m glad we have a few in the area.
