Quilt Show at Tulip Festival

I have a friend here in Sioux Center, Patty, who is a quilter. For the Quilt Show at the Tulip Festival in Orange City, she entered 12 of her quilts of which I took pictures (at least most of them.) She is amazing.

Over a number of years, my GROUP friends and I have made several quilts together so I can appreciate the work it takes to make these works of art. One of my GROUP friends, Gina, has been doing a lot of quilting lately, and she will absolutely be blown away, as will any one who sees these and has an appreciation of what it takes to quilt. I have nieces, Melissa and Cassie, in Arizona who showed off their quilts to me when Ivisited them in Flagstaff many years ago. I also have a niece, Mitzi, in Omaha who has done some quilting.

Enjoy the quilt art show.

Here is Patty with one of her Flip Flop quilts. Read about it.




The next ones are also Patty's.






Still Patty's.
The one in the middle is Patty's.

Here it is close up. One of my favorites.

The last one of Patty's.


Another friend of mine, Jennifer, also has done some beautiful and amazing quilts and entered them. She made a Flip Flop quilt for each of her daughers. Aren't they cute?


This is also Jennifer's.


Be sure to read Jennifer's story about the next few pictures of a special quilt she made for her mother.








Here is her complete quilt.

Here are some of my other favorites.

Cute clock.

I really like the colors, and the message is cute too.
