Well over 500 quilts filled the expo center in Wichita over the weekend at the Common Threads Quilt Show. It was a bit overwhelming! So much work on display, hours of cutting and sewing and quilting. After a while they all started to blend together, it was hard to pick out a favorite. A warehouse full of inspiration and creativity!
There were samplers, stars, postage stamps, pineapples, traditional, modern, stained glass, pinwheels, cats, t-shirts, sunbonnets, optical illusions, yo-yos, wedding ring, vintage, patriotic, cathedral windows, hearts, squares, rectangles, triangles, pieced, applique, embroidery, cross stitch, friendship, graduation, retirement, crazy quilts, labels.
One thing that I especially liked was the quilts made by kids at Quilt Camp, a community service project of the local Prairie Quilt Guild to teach the art of quilting to the next generation and keep it alive. Kayla proudly displays her quilt made at Quilt Camp this year.
