Quilt Show Review

 David and I attended the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival last Thursday.  Several guilds go together to put on this show.  It's in the convention center in Overland Park, so is big, with lots quilts and lots of vendors.  We had to park in the overflow lot which was 2 miles from the convention center and then catch a shuttle back.  The shuttle only held 24 people and I was #24, so David waited behind to catch the next one.  There were over 80 people in line for the shuttle.  Some just gave up and called Uber.

So here were the quilts I found photoworthy.

I just loved this penguin family.

I liked the modern feel and the quilting in these 2.

I only took a picture of this one because it was round and was quilted in the round.  I wouldn't want this quilt and would never make it but I respect the work that went into it.

And who doesn't love a balloon animal!

And this one was incredible.  I am very intrigued by these quilts.

And I liked this quilt with different quilt blocks done in greens as potted plants.

I thought Sarah would enjoy this one.

And this Harry Potter one!

And another pictorial quilt that reminded me of my recent trip to the beach.

And this one was adorable.

And this guy was amazing!  He looked so real and had the most intense gaze.  Someone standing next to me mentioned that he looked so cool he should have shades.

But these ladies were wearing the shades.

And some goats in pajamas!  I would make this one!

Puppy dogs with three dimensional ears...........

A close up of the ears.  I wouldn't make this one.

And for the sports fans..................Chiefs!

And Royals.............

And some more that I just liked.

I would love to be able to do something like this next one.

We both really liked this one.  It totally looked like Willow.  We found a kit to make it at one of the vendors, but at $419, David said it was a good thing I had the real dog at home so we wouldn't need to make a quilt of her.

And these last 2 should look familiar.  This was the pattern I did as my challenge project last year, The Mobius Radial.

I didn't care for the quilting on the top one, but liked the way the blue changed shades on the bottom one.

And that was our day.  We spent some time (and money) at the vendors, but made no large (size) purchases because of the shuttle situation.  We had a very late lunch at a BBQ place David had picked out and then stopped at Cold Stone on the way home.  It was a good day!
