My MQX Portland 2013 Part 2

My days at MQX were full of quilts, people and classes.

I took some great classes with Judy Woodworth x 2, Jackie Kunkel, Claudia Pfeil and Irena Bluhm.
The walking tour of the winning quilts with Cathy Wiggins was extremely informative, at the end of which we had a special meeting with the now 'famous' Bethanne Nemish who told us the story of her winning quilt.
I took the beginner class for Art and Stitch software to see how I would like the program, the class certainly kept my attention for the two hour morning class and I'm not really a morning person...
I also took a 2 hour lecture with Lisa Sipes.

Here are a few photos of some of my favourite quilts from the many photos I took.....

Orange you Glad by Sharon Lacey

I Dream of Wild Horses by Kristin Vierra

Odins Trilogy by Linzi Upton

Crown Jewels by Lisa Calle
Down the Rabbit Hole by Karen Marchetti

  1. I missed going to a big show this year and love seeing your pics of what was there. I would have loved to have seen some of these in person. It is so exciting to see some of the quilters I met on the forum many years ago and how they have turned into major contributors to the big shows now. How we have grown up over the years.
