I really enjoy looking at pictorial quilts. I love to look at how they are constructed and marvel how the makers manage to translate a picture or photograph into fabric.
The first quilt is called 'The Bayeux Tapestry to Quilt'. The maker isn't in the catalogue because it was a late entry but I think it was made by an Australian Quilter.
Absolutely beautiful applique and quilting.
This quilt is called 'Ab-Original' by Valerie Wheeler.
I loved this one - it is actually constructed from tiny hexagons! It is called 'Billie Joe Armstrong'
This beautiful mountain scene drew a lot of attention and looked better the further away you viewed it. It is called 'Lyngsfjord I' by Jane Ashe.
This quilt is so life like. It is called 'Dassehra' by Bette Kultorp Andresen of Norway.
I really loved this one as it was very 3 dimensional. It is called 'Loss of the French Schooner 'Jeune St Charles'' by Anne Taylor.
Finally this trio of quilts really stood out in one of the galleries. It is so clever - the piecing fascinated me. In fact I love it more because it is pieced rather than being appliqued or painted.
'My Way' by Solvi L. Krokeide of Norway.
