I just got a lovely package of quilts back from Quilt Market. These beauties were made by some of the talented women at the Modern Quilt Guild of Saint Louis. I've just discovered the local guild. They have only been around for about a year. It is alway exciting to find kindred spirits in my area. They really rushed these quilts for me (read about that here). What a life saver.
I didn't make it to Market this Spring, but I heard that the quilts were a big hit. In fact, they've been passed around and shown off for the past two months and I just got them back.
The boys are at the sitter today and the clouds parted momentarily so I ran over to my friend Jen's BEAUTIFUL home for an impromptu photo shoot. (I have the nicest friends!)
Designed by Juli Ann D. (We actually hung this from Jen's second story balcony. I wanted to show every inch of Juli Ann's stunning creation)
Designed by Kristy Daum
Designed by Lynne M.
Designed Mary Claire
Designed by Jamie Mueller (I had to use her photo because the quilt and Jamie's accompanying pattern were snatched up at Market. I expect she'll have great success with her pattern. Yeah Jamie!)
These are beautiful quilts and what a fabulous community you have around you! I'm off to investigate some new blogs :)

I'm so glad that my quild got to help you with this endeavor, even with the time crunch.
Thanks for sharing our work with everyone.
