Redbud Quilting Festival

What a great weekend!

Classes were awesome & well attended at the Redbud Festival.  Since this was my first trip to Barbourville, KY, I was immediately wowed by these awesome murals commemorating the rich Civil War history of the town.

   

Then to be wowed again by the quilts in the quilt show: 

 

This Dear Jane by Paula Philpot of London KY was best in show.  Sorry I couldn’t get a better pic, but the quilts were on the second story and I would have fallen off a railing to get a full pic of the quilt (s)

 

This blue ribbon winning wall hanging was adapted by the quilter from a coloring book picture (WOW)

 

For you Elm Creek fans, there were 2 Sarah Samplers

I loved this quilt too…so much movement & color!

This quilt was the best hand quilting blue ribbon winner.  The quilt maker’s notes indicated that this quilt was a memorial to her parents’ marriage throughout all the years.

  

This last quilt stole my heart.  This is the quilting I remember my paternal grandmother making. 

 

Hope you enjoyed the trip to Barbourville with me, though it was virtual!  Maybe next year you can come take a class!
