Jaime, Shawna and I have just spent the weekend at Quiltcon. We couldn't even believe all the inspiring quilts! Get ready for an epic quilt blog post, as I am going to share some of the stunning quilts from the show. We were excited to represent for Fancy Tiger Crafts and are so proud of Shawna, who had two quilts in the show—her quilt "Red Hot" even won Lisa Congdon's Judges choice! Here is Shawna with her quilt "Powder Blue" also displayed in the show. Nice work! Shawna also had a mini quilt displayed in this lovely spectrum of modern mini quilts in the Andover booth. Can you guess which one is hers? I was honored to have my "Cancer & Taurus (Constellation Quilt)" in the show! Before we get to the rest of the quilts in the show, there was a special exhibit that blew us away and I'd like to share some of it with you. Molly Upton was a quilter and artist in the 1970s, who sadly died when she was just in her 20s. Despite this, she made a substantial number of quilts in her short lifetime. A collection of her works were shown at Quiltcon. They were dark and stunning and I loved that these were on display. Here are a few of the Molly Upton quilts... Molly Upton - Watchtower - 1975 Molly Upton - Watchtower - 1975 Molly Upton - Nocturn Regalis - 1974 Molly Upton - Greek - 1974 Quiltcon always has an abundance of impressive, inspiring and mindblowing new quilts.
