More PIQF quilts 10-23-08

Since there were over 1000 quilts hanging at PIQF I can only give you a tiny view of those that I found interesting for some reason.
A quilt made by a group divided into six sections and working independently.

Even at 96" x 72" this quilt contains an amazing amount of detail.
And it is a raffle quilt! If you are interested in tickets you can contact the guild at:
TMQNewspatch@yahoo.com The date of the drawing is in November 2008.


Another scene, this time by Mary Ellen Parsons who is a gifted quilt maker, teacher and a member of Monterey Peninsula Quilters. The squares (a la Vickie Johnson) make a nice border without confining the view.

The detailed faces are nicely rendered in thread and paint. http://www.parsonagewine.com/quilt.html

wow, those are two stunning quilts. Hard to believe that that first one was created in sections-just wonderful Del. I love that thread painting on the faces. Such lovely detail.
