I wanted to post a few of my favorite quilts from the Fiber Arts Fiesta last weekend, beginning with this one–Echinacea by Nancy Steidle of Santa Fe.
I love the contrast between the flowers and pieced background. The wonderful detail in the centers of the flowers is exquisite.
I love how the flowers and leaf designs are also quilted into the background–maybe because that's my plan for a flower quilt of mine–and how she added the beaded detail of the centers on the quilted blooms.
It's no surprise that this quilt had three ribbons hanging from it, for best in category (Pictorial- Large), for Hand Appliqué and for ???

I agree. This is a gorgeous quilt.
I thought that was the most memorable quilt in the show. The beading was just fantastic.
Wow. Amazing details in those coneflower centers with the beading, etc. It certainly is a winner.
Went to Fiber Arts Fiesta with Hilda and her daughter on Thursday - the center detail on that quilt was wonderful!
