Musings from the AQS Grand Rapids Show

Yesterday my friends Caroll and Robin and I ventured to the DeVos Place to attack the AQS 2014 Quilt show.  It was another fabulous show!  Each and every quilt offered so much inspiration.  Modern quilts are definitely gaining in popularity by sewists.  Some of the vendors are offering more products as well. A normal expectation for the blog author would be for her to take pictures of the modern quilts to share....well not this bird!  So many quilts, so many modern quilts where to begin......well I fell in love with the series from photos of Mackinac Island.  Mackinac Island is our jewel in Lake Huron, just east of the straits where our Mighty Mac connects the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. Horses and bicycles are the only allowed transportation on the island  .Please just enjoy these wonderful art quilts.....

  2. Though I am honored to be included among the quilters, you chose to display from the AQS show in Grand Rapids, I'd like to point out that the photo you call " A view from the harbor" shows a detail of my quilt "Marseilles Morning." As in Marseilles, France :-) Also, it is a pieced quilt, not raw edge applique like the Mackinac Island quilts. Thanks for posting it, though.
