There were so many wonderful quilts at PIQF it would be impossible for me to choose a favorite. But there were two quilts I went back to visit several times.
To my eye this is a great whole cloth quilt design. I think the imagery is lyrical and the hand quilting amazing. I have not been able to contact the quilt maker and am posting this without her permission. If you know her please give my e-address.
"Whispers of Hope" Pat Durbin - Eureka, CA
I missed the sign on this one (too busy looking at it?) but I estimate it is about 58"W x 48"L.
A detail shot showing how the pink flowers are done.
And another detail shot of the stones at the lower right. There are real pebbles trapped under the illusion netting. But I could not decide what color the netting is. Looks like grey to me - maybe she dyed it.
I am still waiting for permission from some people. If I don't hear from them I will post the pictures and then remove them if they contact me and say "No, you can't post pictures of my quilt."
