Glendale Quilt Show 2008
Last weekend I had the privilege of attending the Glendale Quilt Show at the Burbank Marriott Convention Center. Here are a few highlights for your enjoyment:
“Swimming Upstream”by Glendale Quilt Guild member Bobbie Moon
This quilt was inspired by Gwen Marston and Freddie Moran, two of my favorite quilters. Check out their book “Collaborative Quilting” for some eye-popping eye candy.
“Peony Dream Melody”by Molly Y. Hamilton-McNally
Prize winner: Best of Show Professional. That’s some beautiful needle-turn reverse appliqué.
“Paradise Pineapples”by Marianne Simpson
This pieced and appliquéd quilt looks yummy enough to eat!

A fun raw edge appliqué quilt.
wearable art vest
by Leah Bessey
2nd place winner. I would definitely wear this.
I also found just the right fabric for the border of my April basket Quilt of the Month, which I’ll photograph and post for you sometime this month after I actually attach the border to the quilt. My DD Annika found herself quite a cute stash of cat fabric and will be planning and making a cat quilt in the near future.
Quilt Every Day update
For all of you who are quilting every day with me, email me the link to your post or put it in the comments for quilt every day. I’ll compile the links and post them by April 10. I’m quite pleased with my progress and hope you are happy with yours as well. Stop by after April 10 to check them out and be inspired.
What awesome quilts! It must have been a fabulous show. The general tone of the quilts is very different than what you see here in the midwest. Most (not all) of the quilts in our shows are far more traditional. Your photos were a bit of extra fun for me because my mother was born and raised in Glendale.
# sheets to the wind is an Alaskan Artist design, Barbara Lavallee. She’s one of my favorites. I’ve several of her prints, & have met her in person.
Thanks for the info Deb. ^_^
I added her name to my post and also really enjoyed seeing some of her other designs.
