NAPLES FLORIDA QUILT GUILD SHOW

This is the 3rd Quilt Show I have attended
while snowbirding.

 Naples Quilt Guild Show
"Stitches In Time"

Mostly Modern Designs.
Take away borders and add fabrics other than batiks
and many would feel more modern.

Comments here are just my humble opinion.

'Thoroughly Modern Kate'
Pattern: Axis by Craftsy
Maker, Judy Kauckham

I loved this design and colors!
The quilting is fabulous!
My Viewers Choice Vote

'A New Day'

Pattern: 2010 Quilters Newsletter

by Reale and Chole Anderson

Maker: Linda Biondino

'Labyrinth Walk"

Pattern:  Labyrinth? Details n/a

Maker" Shirley Cook

I don't really care for this one but it looked

like a traditional quilt screaming to be set free!

'Boomerangs'

Original paper piece design

Maker: Joyce Grande

I think I saw this in another show.

I am pretty sure people here belong to more

than one guild.

' Fancy Forest"

Pattern by Elizabeth Hartman

Maker: Laura Stacell

I made one owl from this pattern

and several other Elizabeth Hartman patterns.

Although her designs are cute

her directions are not.

'Swans on Fassett Pond'

Pattern: Swans by Elizabeth Hartman

Maker: Nancy Swezey

'Happiness is Like a Butterfly'

Pattern: Tula Pink

Maker: Silvia Merz-Horn

(I was really surprized to see this one)

The next 3 quilts are Pineapple blocks

and begs to say - yes there was a class held locally!

'Tropical Piineapple'

Maker: Shirley Cook

These vibrant colors in the pineapples

were my fav.  I could do without a border

but at least it was interesting.

'Pineapple in Blue and White'

Pattern by Freddy Moran

Maker: Peggy Johnson

'Pineapple Pizazz'

Maker: Nancy Swezey

A couple bird quilts caught my attention

'Birds in Flight'

Bird blocks, impromptu pattern

Maker: Jane Merkel and Kathy Heystee

'Chatter in the Orange Grove'

Patterns combined: Feathers and Strip to Shore

Maker: Judy Bauckham

Black, White and Red designs always reel me in.

Its' the BUCKEYE girl in me.

A traditional Design with an efffort to be modern.

I think the scrappy design feels like improv

vs template cutting?

'Scrappy Day'

Scrap Crazy 6" templates

Maker:  Catherine latimer

Kaffe Fasset fabrics were found in many quilts in these

southern Florida Shows.  That fabric is a bit to buzy for me.

'Nightmare'

Pattern: n/a but techniques was randomly pulling fabrics

out of a bag to make the blocks.

Maker: Nancy Swezey

The vertical straight line quilting is modern.

I immediately recognized these blocks

as "Glitter" blocks.  My friend Rita Minamyer

is hand piecing them and share them on FB often.

And all batiks...lotta batik quilts here in the south as well.

Not really modern but yet, here they are!

"What is the Point'

Pattern: Glitter by Jen Kingwell

Maker: Pat Walrath

'Kaleidoscope'

Pattern: Daybreak by Jaybird Quilts

Maker: Donna Shirley

Beautiful quilting on this to highlight each block design.

'Hanging Garden'

Kay Buffington class - Pattern n/a

Maker: Catherine Latimer
Batiks...meh, but the design was good.

This was a Interpretive Art Quilt

I saw this fabric panel in several quilts and a tote bag.

'Modern Windows with One Step of Tradition'

Jean Wells Improv Workshop

Maker: Carrol Petroske

AND NOW WE'RE TALKING MODERN!
