The Quilt Festival in Birmingham, Part Two

Here are some of the wonderful quilts in the judged show that I admired. In fact, I loved them all. It’s important to know that miniatures in England cannot exceed 12″ unlike our shows which required 24″. A twelve inch quilt is truly miniature.

Miniature Quilts:

“Roam” by Sandra Newton

“Separated Yet Connected 2” by Roberta Le Poidevin

I don’t know how, but I managed to not record the name on this wonderful 3-D piece.

I love humor in quilts and don’t think there is enough of it. Sheep are everywhere in England and Scotland, so I loved this sheep-related quilt. Sadly, I couldn’t stand back far enough for a full shot image.

“Baatik Beaties” by Moira Neal

I greatly admired this quilt for the great quilting designs within the rays. Another quilt where I forgot to record the maker and name. I think I was too enthused going from one quilt to another.

I loved this quilt! Wonderful, colorful figures.

“Cinderella and the Ugly Sister” by Beverly Rebolo

A great piece by the well-know Australian Quilter, Gail Thomas.

“The Picnic” by Gail Thomas

And, drum roll, the best of show. I couldn’t stop looking at it. Some members of my group said it wasn’t a quilt with the philosophy that only traditional quilts are quilts. I loved this one. The award was well-deserved. I’m disappointed it wasn’t well-lit, which made it difficult to view and photograph.

“Who Will Tell the Bees” by Mary Palmer and Anne Kiely
