QAF 2010

The Colorado Quilting Council's annual Quilt-A-Fair was held on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, I stopped at the bank for my one and five dollar bills before leaving town. I buy quilt raffle tickets at QAF and like to have correct change. One thing I did forget to do, however, was to replenish my address label supply, but I had enough to only have to hand write 2 tickets.


Armed with my camera, I and thousands of my closest friends entered the show.

This year the quilt show was curated from quilts by the Denver Metro Longarm Quilters Association. QAF hangs the quilts from the rafters so if the photos look a bit skewed to you it is because I had to shoot UP.

Just look at the quilting on this first quilt. Lovely. Of course, by now, you should know that I am a total sap for the 30s style. Quilt is 30s Something: pieced and quilted by Ellen Palmer.

Here's another 30s one by the same quilter. Quilt is My Green Glob: pieced and quilted by Ellen Palmer.

How about a lovely Stack and Whack? Road To Riches: pieced and quilted by Debra Geissler.

Isn't this scrappy star quilt fabulous? I saw it from a distance and as I got closer it just kept getter better. Sherri's Scrappy Stars: pieced by Sherri Bain Driver and quilted by ZJ Humbach

I saved the best for last. This one is by our own Alycia (QuiltyGirl) Carolina Christmas: pieced and quilted by Alycia Carmin

I've been a bit under the weather lately with what I thought was a cold but has turned out to be a massive sinus infection. Going to this quilt show sapped my strength and I have spent the last two days recuperating. But it was so well worth it.
