Minay Sirois, Feeling Chintzy
The quilt exhibits take up about half the space in the giant convention hall in Houston. The Quilt Market, the trade show open to quilt shops and quilt professionals, is over today, Monday November 1st. Quilt Festival, open to all, begins November 4th. Exhibitors scurry to change their booths from wholesalers to retail and lots of new shops come in in the two days between shows, but the quilt exhibits remain the same. They permit pictures of most of the exhibits, so I took a few shots of reproduction quilts.
Minay used a printed panel in the center of her medallion. I am always pleased to find some of my reproduction prints being used. The blue star above is familiar.
Mary Curley, Salute to Tradition
Between the stars Mary used a chintz from the Seneca Falls collection that Terry Thompson and I did years ago.
The quilts above are in an exhibit called In the American Tradition 2010, co-sponsored by Coats and Clark. Another reproduction quilt exhibit is the 2010 Study of 19th Century Star Quilts sponsored by the American Quilt Study Group. You aren't allowed to take pictures in that one so I will provide a sneak peek of the book that AQSG and Kansas City Star Quilts is publishing in the spring.
Mennonite Lone Star by Bobbi Finley
Years ago Bobbi and Penny Tucker thought up the AQSG Quilt Study project. Every other year members are invited to interpret an antique quilt. The theme in the 2010 Quilt Study was 19th-century stars. Bobbi and Penny have passed the organizing duties to others. Bobbi's used her free time to make this reproduction. You've now seen three of the hundreds and hundreds of quilts on display in Houston this week.
