The Star Books division of the Kansas City Star put on a quilt show at quilt market.
Quilts were displayed in the halls and staircases.
Here's a short tour.
Rosie Mayhew machine quilted it. I designed it.
Jennifer Dick The Circuit Rider's Quilt
The Kansas City area has many talented quiltmakers and designers. The Star show featured quilts from their books.
We tend to do a lot of applique based on traditional design like this one from Kathy Delaney.
The contrast between the quilts and the views was impressive.

Here is a shot of the ink for the presses. It's just like the inside of your color printer with cans for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Except the cans on the right towards the back are three stories high.
Barb Adams, Country Inn
I always love to see Barb Adams's take on tradition.

Nosegay for Mother
I recognized the fabric as reproduction prints from a Moda collection I did with the Star several years ago, but Barb stripped some of the color out of the prints so they are more subdued

Feather Your Nest
Barb and Alma have many Star books for Blackbird Designs

what a lovely display-thank you for the tour-I enjoyed it very much
ReplyDeleteLot of wonderful quilts at the show, the best of the best in quilting. I started quilting one of mine yesterday, finally decided to use my large table so I could move the quilt around. Also cut out the rest of the ladies, so I can work on them this weekend. Now I am waiting to hear how bad the pipe damage is, to our main water pipe, no water and I want a shower, lol.

I love that you connected the artists' work to their books, and especially my mother's. Somehow her books did not make it to the Star's show along with the other ones. It hurt me to see her disappointed like that. Karmen
