It was time for the quilt show--it has been two years since Mary and I were able to go! What a wonderful time; I met up with several friends and even got to meet a blog friend!
It was a super day!
This quilt was my favorite and was very indicative of this year's entries! A lot of threadwork and applique.
There was a huge selection of patriotic quilts by QOVF and
I could've taken a picture of everyone of them!
This one had a very cool border that I admired!
This one reminded me of my daughter who loves birch trees!
This is a very large quilt and it was so realistic,
I could've stepped right in and could almost smell the old forest! There was a man and two dogs on the trail toward the bottom that shows the scale of the towering trees!
This was a t-shirt quilt done in a very clever 3-D block format--
all from Harley shirts!!
The details on this quilt were amazing--
not to mention it would be a great fantasy destination!
We went on an adventure for lunch--it was only a few blocks from the quilt's Convention Center and I hadn't been there in 9-10 years so it was where we went even though the construction on A1A made the .3 mile journey and adventure itself! Joe's Crab Shack has been there since 2012 but the building has been there since 1918! Many of the building/hotels that I remember were right next door are gone from Hurricane Matthew damage 9 years ago!
The beach wasn't crowded but the waves and the sea air was a delight to savor!
It must be so inspiring to see all that beautiful work up close!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had such a fun day! Ocean air is always a balm — nice bonus. And yes, I do love those birch trees!! -Marsel
ReplyDeleteAstonishing quilts! AND a walk on the beach? Wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day out! There's a quilt show coming to the area in May, so mom's going to come down for the weekend. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun. I don't think I could ever choose a favorite quilt. The ocean! We both miss it so much. Not sure if we'll be seeing it this year but we both sure hope so.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a great time with your friend.
Blessings and love,

Oh, how lovely! The quilt exhibition with your dear friend, the delicious food, and a beach to fall in love with.
ReplyDeleteThe quilts you're showing are simply breathtaking; it's wonderful to see them in person. I think you all had a truly wonderful time.
Thanks for sharing.
The quilts are a dream.
Warmest regards

Gosh, those quilts that look like photographs are pretty amazing! I'm so glad you got to go and that you had such a good time with friends, and that you could explore old haunts! Thanks for sharing the fun with us!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to go!! and what amazing quilts!
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to see the changes each time I go back to Daytona. A lot has changed over 35 years!
