NOT YOUR MAMA'S QUILT SHOW PART 2 ~ ~

 This has to be one of my favorites of the quilt show,

if not my very favorite!  Does this look like a quilt?

I would call it a thread painting ~ if you click on it, it is spectacular!  You should be able to see the detail and it's just hard to believe that this is all fabric!

Such a cute piece ~ I love faces and people sculptures ~ this one just speaks to me!

Unbelievably ~ this is all YO YO's ~ imagine!! loved this one, too!  A very creative fabric artist put an incredible

amount of thought and time into this work of art!

 The colors in these pieces spoke to me ~ Loudly!
Love them both!

 Again, people's faces ~ and look at those nice cows!

 I loved the moon quilt ~ and the others were beautiful, too!












This one was fun and I just liked it  lot!  Heidi and Donna and I just loved this show ~ it was inspiring ~ I call it a feast for the eyes!  I think seeing all this art and all the beautiful booths helps to make us more creative.  This morning, on a blog, I read this quote that she got from somewhere else ~ ART WASHES AWAY FROM THE SOUL, THE DUST OF EVERYDAY LIFE!  Isn't that a wonderful and comforting thought? 
This was taken at the show yesterday ~ this was before the show began ~ by the end of the day, after we loaded up in the rain ~ we didn't look quite so chipper!!  It was a nice day ~ saw so many people we knew ~ and talked and laughed all day ~ even sold some wool!!  Went to dinner afterwards with our friends, Vivian and Lou ~ came home and unloaded the truck and car ~ and crashed!!!

I've been up since 5:45 a.m. ~ doing laundry and blogging ~ and now I have to pack some clothes and most importantly, pack up my hooking tools and at 10 a.m. this morning, my friends and I are off to Ligonier, Pa. to hook and eat and laugh for three days!!!!!!!!  It will be fun ~ it's just getting it together to get there that's the crazy part!  So, I'm off ~ talk to you at the end of the week and I'll have pictures of our rugs for you! Ta ta for now!
