The Central Vermont Quilt was small, but enticing, showcasing a wide range of colors and talent. It is obvious that quilting is alive and well in Vermont. Here are a few of our favorites in the show. When I selected them, I was relying on visual impact alone, and the graphic quality of their “statements.” All of the quilts were stunning!
Two windblown quilts beckoned us from the parking lot of the Central Vermont Quilt Show, 2010.
This stunning quilt, “Sunburst,” was made by Marie Fortier.
A tribute to the quiltmaker’s great grandmother. We did not happen to notice the quilter’s name. Please contact us to provide it @ pat@quiltersmuse.com
The quiltmaker created a scrapbook in honor of her ancestor! Love it!
We are partial to quilts that depict “Flying Geese” whether suggested by abstract triangles, by appliqué, or in a combination of ways. The following quilt caught our eyes.
“Flying Home” by Pauline Lang
Traditional Sampler blocks, both appliquéd and pieced, made by Elaine La Rosa; machine-quilted by Mary Schilke. Elaine calls this her “Well-traveled Sampler, as it was a take-along project while traveling. The source of the design is a “Paper Pieces” pattern dated 1987, Sycamore, IL.
The next quilt is a machine embroidered quilt titled “Pictogram Block Party” by Marie Gross, based on a design by Judy Norwicki.
Congratulations to all who entered this show. Your work was a pleasure to view. Thank you.
