More quilts in Long Beach 08-30-22

 

I went to the Long Beach show especially to see Zena Thorpe's quilts.  I have admired her beautiful, precise hand applique and quilting for many years.  

Zena has a definite English accent, but she lives in Chatsworth, California, on the north edge of Los Angeles. 
 

"Kells: Magnum Opus"  Hand appliqued and quilted.  This is the quilt that most quilters think of when when they hear the name Zena Thorpe, Master Quilter. 







I couldn't resist photographing the letters to spell my name!





More at a later date.  I'll get back to posting.

Good Morning, Thank you, Del. I've never seen such beautiful and 'perfect' quilting before. Wow! Quilter Thorpe's work is magnificent!
Take care.

What a treat to get to see Zena Thorpe's quilts in person. Pictures over the years in magazines don't do justice to her amazing creations. Thanks for these detail shots, too!
