Quilts in Bloom – Revisiting Work by the Piecemakers Quilt Guild

22 Comments/ 3562/ 0

quilt20I love quilts and I found a couple that were perfect for me at a wonderful quilt show in Owatonna, Minnesota a couple of years ago.  Yes, I am a little slow in posting things at times and as I was looking through a bunch of photos recently I happened upon a file of pictures that I had taken in April 2014 at the Owatonna Arts Center where the Piecemakers Quilt Guild had a wonderful exhibit of amazing quilts.

I found out about the show from Audrey who blogs at Minnesota Prairie Roots and Chris and I spent a good deal of time taking in all of the wonderful quilts.  Chris was as interested in them as I was but among all of the quilts there I lingered on the ones that I am featuring today.  Trust me – there will be another post with many of the other quilts that were on display.

These quilts were made lovingly by the guild and featured teapots of all variations.  I did not take close ups of all of the individual squares but you get the idea.qulit21

Each block is unique and reflects the talent of the individual quilter.  I just loved the variety not only in the fabrics chosen but in the interpretation of the teapots.quilt 17

quilt13Quilting is such an art and a great way to express creativity.  I shared earlier on the blog the Cathedral Window Quilt that my mom made that I now have in my own home.  You can read that post here.  I have not taken up quilting but it is something that intrigues me.  I was fortunate enough to get a quilt top from Chris’s Grandma Kate and my friend, Doreen, who blogs at Treadlemusic finished it for me and it is beautiful as well.  I shared her creative touches in this post.

It always amazes me to see what  people with a passion for their craft can create.  Whether it is quilting, writing, woodworking or gardening there is always something to learn.

Thanks for stopping by today and sharing one of my favorite things.  Don’t forget to leave a comment for Comments for a Cause.

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
