I previously shared insights about
how I "approach" attending a quilt show. I don't feel there is a right or a wrong way to attend a quilt show, but I do believe if you don't take advantage of attending quilt shows you loose out on a lot of inspirational opportunities. For me, as I've been on a quest to learn and improve my free-motion quilting (FMQ) skills, I certainly had fun attending the 2012 Road to California Quilt Show. While at this show, I spent most of my time looking at quilts that displayed inspirational FMQ. Today, I want to share a few of these quilts with you.
{Below} Plumeria Stars made by Kimberly Einmo and quilted by Birgit Schueller, of Palm Harbor, Florida.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these beautiful quilts and the excellent free-motion quilting that helped to make each of these quilts even more magnificient.

It's beautiful, I like each.
I am so stunned by these pictures. I am going right over to my machine and picking up where I left off with the practicing. Thank you for sharing. The photography was excellent.
Thanks for sharing. Those quilters are very talented.
Thanks for the great shots of the quilting.
I'm glad you are focusing more on the quilting aspect of quilts this year. I feel like I've only been focusing on the piecing of quilts, but the quilting of a quilt and make it or break it.
Son increíbles estos acolchados. Una maravilla. Algún día haré uno igual. De momento seguiremos con las prácticas. Gracias.
Thank you for the lovely, well documented photos. Those were very inspirational.

All I can say is Wow!!! Someday, someday, I hope to be able to FMQ like that. In the meantime I just have to practice, practice, practice.

Love teh forst one ... because there are no feathers. I love feathers but everybody does them, so I find it refreshingto see a quilt without feathers!
I also love the second ... yep, know it has feathers, but they are used very well!

I keep thinking how beautiful these are! I wish I could make them larger to see what they did. Especially the one with the squares and it looks like a pebble in the corner. The quilt right above "rare catch". How would you describe the technique?
wow! I did enjoy seeing those inspirational quilts. Such creativity.
click on the photos and you will get a larger version! Excellent photos!
