Quilters Guild of Greater Kansas City Quilt Show - Part 2 of 2

Yesterday I posted the first half of the photos I took at the Quilters Guild of Greater Kansas City Quilt Show at Crown Center. This is the second half. Enjoy!

If These Shirts Could Talk
Quiltmaker: Rosemary Cromer
Quilted by: Mary Hibbs

Red Rooster
Quiltmaker: Janie Wagner
Quilted by: Janie Wagner
Owner: Janie Wagner
Techniques: Machine pieced, machine quilted
I thought this one was really cool. It looks so simple. Why didn't I ever think of this?


Don't you love it when they give you gloves at a quilt show? I hate when they don't because I have to walk around with my hands in my pockets just so I won't accidentally touch something I'm not supposed to. I love the feel of fabric, so pockets or gloves are a must. I just can't help myself.

Sunny Spanish Sky

The quilting on this was amazing.

Civil War Stars
Quiltmaker: Mary Ellen Bloomquist
Quilted by: Nedra Forbes
Owner: Mary Ellen Bloomquist
Techniques: Machine pieced, hand appliqued, machine quilted

I love the quilting on this quilt.
I think my favorite part of the whole thing is this applique on the border.

Truly Nancy #2
Quiltmaker: Nancy Wakefield
Quilted by: Ross Williams
Owner: Nancy Wakefield
Techniques: Machine pieced, machine quilted
I love this one. I love the simplicity of it. I love scrappy quilts that don't have an overall theme. They seem like they have more of a necessity to them than a specific statement. Somehow, no matter what fabrics are put together, they seem to work.

Red and White Triangles
Quiltmaker: Holly Benson
Quilted by: Holly Benson
Owner: Holly Benson
Techniques: Machine pieced, hand quilted


Unfortunately I only took a few photos of this quilt. It was fabulous. It was solid red and white fabrics on the front and I loved the back fabric. It matched beautifully. It was heavily hand quilted. Gorgeous! Sorry about the lack of overall photo on this one. At least you can get a sneak peek.

Chocolate Block of the Month
Quiltmaker: Naida McKee
Quilted by: Naida McKee
Owner: Naida McKee

I thought the colors on this were interesting. I don't think I would have ever come up with these fabrics together, but I dig them.
I love the back on this one. See why I love when they give me gloves? I get to discover really cool things like this.

Cabins Under the Stars

I love the border on this. I need to start doing more of them this way.

I loved seeing this one. If you remember, the theme for my row robin quilt swap is the Wizard of Oz. I can't wait to get it back and see how it turned out.

This was made of old shirts. I liked how they didn't cut out the pockets or sleeve buttons.

Quilters Guild of Greater Kansas City Quilt Show - Part 1 of 2

Over the last weekend, Jason and I visited the Quilters Guild of Greater Kansas City Quilt Show at Crown Center. I took a ton of photos because there were a ton of amazing quilts shown here. I'm going to split the photos over the next few days because I'm sure you would get irritated with so many photos on one post. So, this is the first of a few. Enjoy!

They had this really cool thing going with a bunch of the stores in the center. Two dozen of the stores and theaters were offering a free quilt pattern. Each had a different pattern. They were all fairly simple. I only photographed one of them. They were each displayed something like this.
