A couple more local HMQS entries

This darling bicycle was made by Kathleen, Natalia, and Whitnee for the Home Machine Quilting Show PUMP UP THE COLOR Challenge. So darling! It was raffled off for over $100 and the $$$ went to dig a wall in Kenya. Good Job ladies!

Deonn's super darling wallhanging won 3rd place in the wallhanging division. Good Job Deonn!

Local lady Home Machine Quilting Show entries

Brain dead, that is the new word. I deleted a bunch of pictures that I was going to post along with this one of some more quilts that were entered in The Home Machine Quilting Show by ladies from our guild. So sorry, I will see if I can get them from someone else. Enjoy these for now, but know there are more.

Kami's wedding quilt which is quite Asian-looking with bamboo and koi. It was quilted by Deonn.

Deonn's 12 Gifts of Birth quilt

Kathleen's Strut Your Stuff quilt, quilted by Natalia



Rachel, Deonn, and Debbie participated together in the Pump Up the Color Home Machine Quilting Show's Design Challenge. They won 2nd place! Hooray! Deonn also participated with the Utah Longarm Guild and they placed 3rd. Natalia, Kathleen, and Cindy also participated and that is one of the pictures I deleted, along with Ann's wool applique quilted jacket and Deonn's 3rd place wallhanging. I will get those pics ASAP.

Congrats ladies!

Home Machine Quilting Show 2009

Who went to the Home Machine Quilting Show this last weekend? Hooray for you! Here are a few quilts that tickled my fancy. There were hundreds I could have taken pictures of though! Stay tuned for the next post - it will be quilts and pieces that our own guild members had in the show! Enjoy!

Home Machine Quilting Show, SLC UT

The Home Machine Quilting show is going on right now! Head down to SLC to the Expo Center and check it out. There are 150 vendors this year, our very own Kim Shannon being one of them with her noveltyquiltfabrics.com store there. There are over 500 quilts displayed this year also, wow! A few of those 500 are from our own guild, good job ladies! There are tons of classes going on too, but you kind of missed that already, sorry.





This quilt is a special exhibit that is on display this year. It is called 'The Supper' and is 15.3 feet wide and 5.5 feet tall and beautiful. The entire quilt is made from 1/2 inch squares, 51,816 of them. Go check it out, it would make daVinci proud.

Here are just some pictures of quilts that I (Rachel) enjoyed and thought you might too, although no picture is as good as seeing it in real life, full color, and the atmosphere, oh the atmosphere!

This quilt is the only one that I took a close up picture of the tag, sorry, I should have done it on all the quilts. But if you click on the picture of the quilt, it will give you a close up and hopefully you can see what you want to see. You should definitely click on the above picture and look at the amazing binding, applique, whatever you call it around the edge. So pretty!

A popular pattern, I liked it and so do other quilters it seems! I think there was one more of this one.

Okay, I took a picture of this one because I loved it, then I visited Natalia's blog (link on the right) and realized it is hers!!!! Natalia, it is so beautiful, good job!

Holy smack chicken, amazing!

Melon blocks for Jenny, she loves the melon block.

Okay, you know that quilting is getting to you when you see a quilt from a far and recognize the pattern. This pattern is called Eureka! and it is beautiful - the colors and all. It is in the show this year.

This Eureka! quilt was in the show last year and was also stunning.

Get your fannies down to the Expo Center and see them all yourselves! You can print off a $1 off coupon for admission at http://www.hmqs.org/. These pictures were taken before the ribbons were awarded. Do you think I picked any winners? If anyone else takes some pictures of their favorites, email them to me and I will put them on here too.
