Anna and G on the Road: Quilt Show Inspiration

Anna and G

As we bump down the road, I look for inspiration wherever I can. Whether it be quilt shops, stitching groups, or quilt shows. Although I missed the Tucson Quilt Show, I was forwarded photos of some of the highlights! I can already tell you that next year I am putting this show on my "must see" list!! A wide variety of quilts from the Modern...

...to the embellished! I am in awe of the talent of quilters!

And someone was able to finish their Fresh Cuts Quilt by Sue Spargo!!

Being that I have appliqué envy, I was especially WOW'd by some of the appliqué quilts. I am encouraged to drag out one of my "elderly" projects, which is a Kim McClean appliqué quilt. Did you notice that I did not call it a UFO...sounds so disrespectful...we must respect our elders!!!

Stay tuned and travel along with us on Quilt Roadies.

Regarding the quilt that you are not calling a UFO, how about WIP? Work in Progress sounds much more hopeful, as though you may complete it some day, and certainly more respectful. lol.

And next year, as you plan your travels, include the Arizona Quilt Show, which is usually in March, but has been changed to February (not sure of dates yet) be-cause of a conflict at the Mesa Convention Centre. See you in Arizona, we rock! Jill in Calgary/Phoenix

It was a wonderful show. Such variety and such talent. It is organized and put on by the Tucson Quilter's Guild. A lot of work by a lot of ladies. It would be great to see you next year. Thanks for mentioning us!

Sorry that you missed the Tucson Quilt Fiesta this year, Anna. It's the largest annual quilt show in Arizona with over 300 quilts on display. I thought credit should be given to the quilters whose work you showed here. The first (modern) quilt was made by Keith Dommer who teaches at a local shop. The landscape quilt was made by Kathy Adams and Joanne Baeth. It won our Best of Show award. I'm not sure who made the Sue Spargo wool quilt but the Lollypop Trees was made by Patricia Morris. Watch for our 2020 dates in February…we'd love to see you at the show next year!
