So many things are found on display at a quilt show. The quilter's muse can be found at a quilt show. They, those sisters of art, are alive and well abiding in and around the beautiful quilts on display, ready to ignite our passion of this beloved art form. Friendships old and new are also on display, as you walk among the quilts and share admiration of fine workmanship. Stitching by hand that looks so precise a machine could not compare or stitching by machine, with stippling so tight no human hand would dare. Vendors with wares so wonderful the nesting instincts in all us women, take hold and we buy, buy, buy and this makes us happy.
Competition was stiff at this show, past Paducah Quilt show winners won no prizes here. Paducah, Kentucky's quilt show, is arguably one of the premier shows in the country, drawing quilts from all over the wold. Whole cloth quilts are making a come back, having several entries in this show, including this whole cloth white quilt that later was painted to perfection.
The Indiana Heritage Quilt Show is a fine road trip for quilters.
Happy quilters what/where do you find your muse?

I just saw someones webshots on this show - There was a lovely cat quilt!
They are all amazing but that 3rd one! Gorgeous!
Yes the third quilt was amazing. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to paint over a whole cloth white quilt, quilted that beautifully.
WOW! Nothing like a good quilt show to get the creative juices flowing! Thanks for sharing!
How beautiful...the colors on that painted quilt make me speechless (and that is saying something!)
