Anne’s Creative Threads

As promised, here are some more photos from this year’s Festival of Quilts at the NEC in Birmingham,UK. In my last post there was a picture of the fabulous winning quilt by Kumiko Frydl, so here I will just post a few that struck me as I wandered around.

This quilt “Summer Meadow” by Jane Davies features a lovely hand dyed background with  hand stitched details.

Of course I am drawn towards anything featuring  jungle so I liked this quilt by Stephanie Redfern called “The Secret Jungle”

This quilt  by Cherry Vernon-Harcourt was the winner of the Quilters Guild Challenge with the theme of ‘Summer in the City’.

This quilt, ‘Blackberry Jam ,Jelly and Juice’,  made by Sheena Hughs, won second prize in the Art Quilt category

And this one ‘Pay the Ferryman’ by Annette Morgan was the winner in the Art Quilts category.

This quilt made by Grietje van der Veen reminded me of the beautiful olive groves in Spain. It was featured in the European Art Quilt exhibit.
