Pacific International Quilt Festival, Part 5, International con’t again

Posted on November 24, 2014 by Plaid Portico

As we head into Thanksgiving and winter…brrrr…I am very motivated to finish the 5 quilts I have in progress…exactly how DOES that happen I wonder? I am going to make some nice cozy presents for people and keep a couple for myself. Time to get some more batting!

Here we are at the last section of PIQF International group, but not the last of PIQF since I still have one more post of quilts from miscellaneous categories before we go on to other things. Hard to believe I only have been showing a selection of quilts that caught my eye in each category!

Enjoy!

Pacific International Quilt Festival, Part 5, International, con’t

Posted on November 19, 2014 by Plaid Portico

Well, I seem to have more photos of PIQF 2014 quilts than I imagined and can only process so many at a time, and rather than cheat you out of any I will just keep these posts coming until they are all done. We love to look at quilts, don’t we?

After that I have some cool projects and quilt designers to highlight and then we can go on to cover the Amish quilt shows art the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. The Antique Ohio Amish Quilts from the Darwin D. Bearley Collection will be on view from November 15th-March 1st 2015. The Amish Muse, an exhibition that will exhibited along side it, is comprised Amish inspired modern quilts by Bay Area Modern Quilt Guilds. And yours truly actually has a quilt in it…..and yes of course I will be showing you that too!

Without further ado, here are more of the delicious quilts from the International section of the 2014 Pacific International Quilt Festival:

Pacific International Quilt Festival, Part 2

Posted on October 29, 2014 by Plaid Portico

The next quilts we’ll cover as part of the Pacific International Quilt Festival exhibition are selections from the Traditional category. If you’re in to Modern don’t skip this as what is interesting is the modern overtones in many of the quilts. I am going to mix these up between the ones that seem a bit more modern and the amazing palettes, detailed quilting and phenomenal piecing workmanship of the more elaborate traditional quilts.

There were a lot more in this category in the show, these are merely ones that I gravitated to. Yes, I know, you are always at the mercy of my eye. Next up after this, in Part 3, we will do the Gee’s Bend Revisited portion of the exhibition.

Enjoy!
