IQF Long Beach Festival




The "Black and White with a Twist" exhibit at the IQF Long Beach 2012 show was one of many amazing exhibits.  This particular exhibit featured works with a realistic and/or abstract view of black and white colors and the emotion they evoke.  This exhibit made its debut at IQF Long Beach.

While I hope you get a chance to see this delightful exhibit at other IQF events, I also hope you get a chance to visit the upcoming  IQF Long Beach Festival 2013

Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center
Long Beach, California


They have a large offering of excellent classes, wonderful Vendors,  and I'm confident there will be many spectacular quilt exhibits with a variety of styles and techniques, offering something for everyone.  This show is also held in an area of So. Cal. that makes it a perfect place to take the entire family.  Many fun attractions are nearby:  Disneyland, Knotsberry Farm, Queen Mary, etc..

Thank you so much for giving me the chance to see these. There would be no chance of getting to the exhibition, and the exhibits are wonderful. They really are emotive! Thanks again.

I was fortunate to see that exhibit in Houston last year. It will be interesting to see what appears in Long Beach this year.

Thanks for sharing the photos, it was amazing to view in person.
