QuiltCon 2015

Posted on February 21, 2015 by treshabarger

The Modern Quilt Guild hosts QuiltCon 2015 this weekend in Austin, Texas. Shelly, Patrice, and I went Thursday, the first day of the show. Yes, we were there waiting for the doors to open.

So inspiring! Here are two quilts in the show that I really like.

Primary Colors

Blue, yellow, red. Helios has no imagination, Eos sighed. Their parents gave him a whole planet to play with and he uses only primary colors? She picked up the brush and spent the new few millennia mixing hues, putting them all over her brother’s planet.

Helios returned. “What are you doing?” he yelled. “Crystals are not supposed to be purple!”

Eos laughed. “You mean amethyst?”

He picked up the canvas and threw it at her. The paint dripped all over her robe, and forever more all sunrises in the universe were streaked with pink, peach, blue, violet, orange and red.
