Quilt Highlights

Barbara Barbara Barrick McKie is the artist who created these two exquisite quilts from her own photographs.  These were among the highlights for me at The Lowell Quilt Festival in August. When viewed in person, these pretty much take your breath away!  She has been a computer specialist in graphic arts and has been leading the way with this genre of quilt arts for some time now.

My Buddy and Me by Barbara Barrick McKie

Sweet Red and White

What a great example of taking a commercial pattern and giving yourself to it.  Luscious reds and white combine with cotton, silk, velvet and wool - pieced to perfection! 
Sweet!

Music of the Night

Throughout the next few months I'll continue to share with you more quilts from the Lowell Quilt Festival.  They are all from the main exhibit space at the Lowell Auditorium.  Without further ado:

Today, I'm off on another quilt sojourn to The World Quilt Show - New England XI in Manchester, NH.  I'll be taking a class by Marjan Kluepfel called Zen and the Art of Free Form Fiberscapes.

Meanwhile, here's another link to more fun events at the 2013 LQF:  The Whistler Museum
