Road to California Quilt Show

I spent part of yesterday at the 2014 Road to California Quilt Show. Once again there were amazing and inspiring quilts. Here are a few of my favorites.

An original design “Ambrosia” by Gina Perkes was inspired by a duvet cover in a Pottery Barn catalog.

This is so out of the box abstract for me, but I was drawn to it and the quilting gives a truly fabulous texture. I took a class from Katie years ago when she was doing Fractured Landscapes and her techniques and teaching skills were enlightening.

Sharon Schamber’s “Once Upon a Time” won Best of Show. There were so many in front of the quilt I had to take a picture from the side. This is truly a work of art.

Looking at close ups you can see why.

  2. Sharon wins Best of Show yet again. I think this is the prettiest quilt she has done to date. Would love to see it in person. Hopefully she will show it at our inaugural 2015 Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival.
