2008 Kitsap Quilters Guild Show

Feb 15th, 2008 by Kathy

The 23rd Annual Kitsap Quilters Guild Show is taking place today and tomorrow (Friday & Saturday, February 15 & 16). This quilt stole the show. Margret Darrah is a friend of mine so even though I’m partial to her talent, my jaw dropped when I saw this one. The quilting was done by Marybeth O’Halloran and is spectacular.

The quilt is titled “Encendiemento” and measures 72″ x 83″. Encendiemento means the kindling or firing of the soul. Margret has this quilt for sale.

The other quilt that necessitated several loops back around is this antique baby quilt:

I LOVE the story that goes along with it:

You can see the other highlights of the show for me in this Flickr set. I enjoyed my chat with Judy Robertson who has her hand dyes there again. The new fat quarters I picked out are inspiring me to make some art for myself. My kids are off school for a 5 day weekend, wishing you all a fun holiday!

I wish I could go. It looks great. You’ll have to come to the Block Party Quilt show in April.

I kind of shy away from religious themes but that sacred heart quilt is killer. Love the free-pieced borders–all of them. Lots of energy and passion.

The antique quilt is beautiful and the story makes it even more so.

Wow, thanks for posting these. The quilting around the heart is stunning. From a fellow PNW-er…
