Quiltcon - the modern quilt show - is this weekend in Raleigh, NC. My husband and I attended on the first day. Here are a few photos of the meticulously made, imaginative and inspiring quilts we saw:
A close up of a favorite showing the beautiful quilting.
Hundreds of hexagons were handsewn by the quilter while she was out of power and water after Hurricane Helene.
This was 'open to interpretation.' My husband said it looked like a heart.
This was probably the most my style of what I saw.
"I Scream" was my husband's favorite. It had beautiful quilting to make the swirls of the ice cream.
Another closeup of fantastic quilting in addition to the interesting design and piecing.
I'm glad we went. I'm not sure I would drive that far again unless we had some other activity in Raleigh we especially wanted to do. Modern quilts are interesting and I always think I want to do more in this area but currently it isn't as much my focus. Perhaps though I will be inspired by what I saw this week.
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow! What amazing quilts! I'm with you in that abstract does not always please me, but there are some interesting photos here. All of these could grow on me, but I particularly like #3, definitely a heart, and the last two. The designer did a great job of representing the four chambers and the circulatory flow. I don't know that I could look at the next to last one continually, but I appreciate the design. And I really like the colors and quilting on the last one. Thanks for sharing these, Lisa. What a fun way to spend a day!
