Last weekend I took a bit of a road trip to Seattle with my longtime quilt-and-track-mom buddy Julie and my new friend Tamra. Here we are at our destination, the biannual Pacific Northwest Quiltfest:
Here I am with fellow Artful Quilters bloggers Melissa from Bothell and Gerrie and Terry from Portland. Melissa, Gerrie and Terry have been much more timely than I have in posting about the show and there are a lot more great photos from the show on their blogs.
I found this quilt to be completely amazing, mostly because I can't imagine accomplishing something like it. It's wholecloth. All of the design and coloring is done with threadwork. Amazing.
Here's a detail shot:
I've developed a bit of a circle thing in my red/green quilt and I found myself endlessly fascinated with quilts featuring circles. Like this:

It is always fun to see another perspective on the show. I never get tired of looking at those beautiful quilts. It was good to meet the adoraboe Mikkii - you are so cute- and Melissa. that is a pretty good photo of us.
I loved that whole cloth salmon quilt too. The quilting & threadplay are my favorite part of the process.It was a great show. I saw Terrie's 2 quilts there. I had a quilt & a bowwl over in the other building, for the auction. I never bothered to even try & enter anything this year. Just no time.
I wish I'd have seen you girls there. I would've introduced myself.
more pictures that I didn't take! It's very cool to see what different quilts people felt compelled to take pictures of. Did you happen to get a picture of that Rest Stop, or Rest Room quilt that was in the Spice of Life Challenge?
Love the pics, Nik!
