All of the quilts we were expecting to see are not here - they seem to have become delayed in transit. We are hoping they will arrive before this show is over.
We all think it is pretty strange that these quilts do not show the makers names. We think it is because they will not be judged until PIQF starts in a week. But there was no restriction on taking pictures so we did. I still don't understand the distinction between art quilts and modern quilts, but I couldn't help but notice how densely these quilts are quilted. Perhaps that is part of the difference.
I can tell you that this first one "Confined" was made by Nancy Ota of San Clemente, CA.
This quilt was made by Sylvia Schaefer of Athens, Georgia and won a first place ribbon at PIQF 2015.

Thanks for showing these beautiful quilts. I didn't get to Palm Springs, but I have a quilt in one of the missing exhibits (Oasis). I was told that a palette carrying 8 exhibits, including Oasis, was missing. People have been looking for the palette "night and day." Perhaps it got sent to Santa Clara by mistake, but you'd think they would have found it by now if that were the case. Sounds like there were lots of blank spaces in Palm Springs! The people in my exhibit were advised not to talk about it in social media; hope this little comment on your blog doesn't ruffle feathers. :-)
