It’s always a joy to visit a regional quilt show and the one in Daytona Beach, in February, was no exception.
I kinda changed the way I took pictures this time. Instead of focusing on the big winners I, instead, searched for fine details, great compositions and things that were new to me. I hope you’ll enjoy seeing them.
LeAnn Hileman’s mastery of details was very apparent in her quilt Missouri Barn.
Check out her vines on this fence post.
And her cheese cloth weeds along the fence.
Mariane R. Williamson has a strong sense of composition, as you can see in her piece, Tornado.
But, she also includes wonderful details with paint, raw edge fabrics, and HEAVY free motion quilting.
This quilt, on the other hand, has merged delicate details into shapes that skillfully represent the people and their instruments. It’s called The Gault Family Band, and it’s made by Jan Hutchison.
Check out the detail shots. Look how little it takes to depict a mouth or a nose.
I love the color and composition in this piece! It’s called Stone Lakes, by Jan Soules.
I was happy to also have a piece in the show, my Coastal Overlook. With it, I tried to portray the motion and energy of the Pacific Ocean as it crashed and swirled below me.
I definitely enjoyed the show and look forward to the next one.
