Quilt Love @ Quiltcon Part 2

Here are more quilts that i loved. I really like these quilts because of the complicated simplicity.

I love how this one uses earth tones and keeps the eye moving...

Off the B.O.W. by Jessica Brown, Rachel Barness, Heidi Elliott, Wendy Frieden, Susan MacDonald, and Joan Christ

I think this one belongs in an art gallery...

Self Study by Chawne Kimber

I'm such a Parks and Rec. Fan, this just made me smile :)...

RonQuilt: The Ron Swanson Quilt by Monica Solorio-Snow

Talk about awesome, the work that went into this one...

EssbeeCon by Jim Smith and Andy Brunhammer

Just loving the pixelated quilts, I'm inspired to make my own...

Don't Blink by Caro Sheridan

It was fun hanging around the don't blink quilt watching people trying to figure out what it was!

Some of my favorite quilts at Quiltcon were quilted by Angela Walters... A truly amazing machine quilter. This quilt in particular really is astounding! Makes me want to brush up on my free-motion quilting skills.

Look at all that detail!

Love the initials

I think I have to buy her book and get started on learning how to be an amazing quilter and stop focusing on being an amazing piecer. ;)

QUILTCON

I just got back from QUILTCON in Austin, TX and it was amazing. I took tons of pictures and I'm excited to share them over the next couple of days. I was able to attend the Saturday lectures and was impressed and inspired by everything I heard and saw. Quiltcon was informative with talks about copyright law and photography and inspiring with talented quilters telling their stories of life, learning, and making.
