Circles and squares:

great colors and applique -

those circles were perfect!

The border of a quilt - all applique:

Each little brick was maybe

one half inch wide by one inch long:

And the WHOLE BORDER was done this way!!!

Yes, that is hand-embroidery done

over the top of that great applique.

Amazing!

Another great applique quilt:

Close-up of above quilt:

another close-up...

check out the beading and sequins!:

and finally, the credit for this one-

not only a wonderful quilter, but designer too!:

Lastly, I have one that was just plain fun:

Plaids, flying geese, and applique...

the best of everything all in one quilt...

LOVE it!

There were also some really, really wonderful quilts that

were in the section that no photos were allowed.

Bummer, 'cause they were spectacular!!!

(Next year you'll have to go and check it out.)

And, it's time for me to get a new camera, I guess,

as there are a few more pics that I CAN NOT retrieve to share.

The International Quilt Festival in Cincinnati, Ohio

this past weekend was a great place to have been

if you have any interest in quilts...

Truly inspirational!

Thanks to all of you inspiring quilters out there.

Happy Stitching!!!
