When I attended Fiber Fiesta two years ago, I hardly knew any New Mexico quilters and I had not yet found and joined the Northern New Mexico Quilt Guild. This year, there were lots of familiar names from the New Mexico quilting community–some of whom I have come to know.
This quilt is Picnic, by Julee Coffman. I met Julie last year, through the guild, and saw this quilt at our guild show last fall, just as I was finishing my Mad Mad, Mod Mod Sampler Quilt, which I think shares a similar look and feel.
This quilt is also a good illustration of a thought that ran through my head quite a bit while walking through the show: among quite a few great modern quilts in the show, very few earned ribbons in their category.
Lynne Horpedahl quilted this quilt. While talking with Lynne about how I wanted my Mod-mod sampler quilted last year, I used it as an example of the density and style I thought would work for my quilt, too.As always, quilt shows are a great source for quilting ideas.
It does look very similar! I like yours better because it appears more together and has continuity. this one seems so....well, random.
ReplyDeleteI love this series you are doing Sophie!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see all the beautiful quilts :)
Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to see what the rest of the month brings :)
At least the quilts are in the show. The ribbons will come in time, I imagine. What I saw at our local show was that traditional and modern are sharing about 50-50, both in space and in ribbons.
ReplyDeleteLove your series, especially with your comments. Another chance for me to learn! Thanks!
