Peninsula International Quilt
Festival (PIQF) 2009 - Santa Clara, California |
 |
 |
PIQF 2009 was incredible!
The intricacy and creativity of the quilts on display were phenomenal.
We met many new friends and enjoyed several amusing quilting stories.
The show was so successful for us as a vendor that I unfortunately had
very little time to explore. However, I was able to snap a few
photos on my way to the restroom and snack bar. Fortunately, Linda
Hibbert's outstanding paper pieced and applique "Best in Show, All Breed
AKC" dog quilts were in the aisle directly behind our booth, so I was
able to sneak away periodically to enjoy them. Kathleen Harmon's
"Dark Side of the Moon" combined strips n curves, New York beauty and
mariner's compass techniques for a stunning effect. Patt Blair's
whimsical "Spring Break" utilizes the technique of pigment inks on
cotton to capture the newly hatched baby ostrich and its mama. We
also enjoyed Linda Hibbert's paper pieced "Walk in the Woods".
Further down you can see our booth, which proudly displays several of
Debby's artistic quilts. Debby and Anne did a fabulous job and we
all thoroughly enjoyed the show. Nina, Jan, Andrew and Greg were
also key contributors to our success (perhaps we'll have pictures of
them next time).

Diane's Memory Quilt |
Marie's First Dino Quilt |
Diane escapes the
baking heat of Blythe, California by making memory quilts. The
quilt shown above is one of her most recent creations. One of her
other creations (not shown here) was a memory quilt to honor her mom who
passed away in January 2003. The quilt included pictures of her
mom and blocks made from her clothing. She received a second place
ribbon at the Blythe Fair. What a great tribute to her mom!

Marie, Edie's friend
and Scruffy's pal from North Wales, Pennsylvania, made this sensational
quilt for her grandson. After assembling Scruffy's Dino of the
Month Quilt Kit (see below), she liked the results so much that she used
Scruffy's Dino Quilt pattern
as a guide, substituting her fabrics and adding her own creative
modifications of the blocks.

Bonnie's Christmas Koala Tablerunner
|
Edie's First Dino Quilt |
Bonnie volunteers in a
Koala hospital in Caboolture, Australia. She is is a winner of
Scruffy's Shopping Spree and a cherished penpal. One day, out of
the blue, this lovely tablerunner arrived at Scruffy's doorstep just in
time for the holidays. What a delightful surprise! Scruffy
was so excited to show off Bonnie's tablerunner that he began planning
his Quilt Gallery right then and there!

Edie, Scruffy's pal
from North Wales, Pennsylvania, made this adorable quilt for her
grandson. She used Scruffy's
Dino of the Month Quilt Kit. She liked the results so much
that she bought more fabric and made another one (see below)! Edie
and her friend Marie (see below) gave Scruffy lots of feedback along the
way, which helped Scruffy perfect his pattern. Thanks so much,
Edie and Marie! (click picture to see kit)
