Favorites from the Genesee Valley Quilt Show 2013

Our Quilt Show has come and gone. It was wonderful to see the crowds filling the aisles and view so many beautiful works of art. In my eyes, everyone was a winner.

As I wandered, a few quilts caught my eye and I clicked a few quick pics. Looking back over those photos, there were two that I really loved - I suspect it was a combination of the colors and the design. I thought I would share those with you today.

"Giant Dahlia" by Martha Kalet, quilted by Mandy Applebee

Lantern Medallion by Marcia Birken, quilted by Joyce Blowers

If you want to check out all the quilts that were on view, one of our members has created a Picasa Album with photos of every one of the over 600! See which ones catch your eye!
