Thank you so much for posting this. I'm exhausted just from looking at all of them online. Makes me feel almost like I was there. OH is at a Greek Festival picking up some overpriced "event" food right now and that should almost complete the experience.
I started quilting proper about 11 years ago after I saw large photos of Ricky Tims Bohemian Rhapsody, an appliqued mandala from hand dyed fabric and and the same day works by Hollis Chatelain, mostly the Blue Men, which are whole clothe, hand painted and thread painting. This inspired me to take classes, because I wanted to do Art Quilts and wanted a better understanding of piecing, etc. What I wound up really liking to make are Improvisational modern quilts and utility quilts, with simple piecing and really simple quilting. I refer to my technique as "Stitch near the ditch". We'll never see my work in a show.
I like the opportunity that shows give to get a good look at work you would never do yourself and lots of quilts in colorways I would not choose.
