Last weekend I attended my very first quilt show - IQF Chicago. As I mentioned before, our Naperville Modern Quilt Guild had a special exhibit - Log Cabin Challenge.

  

I was amazed to see how gorgeously diverse and imaginative all our quilts were.

There were so many beautiful quilts on display, these two were some of my favorites. Sorry, I completely spaced out and have no idea who made these quilts.

 

 

I'm thinking I need to make a house quilt in the near future :)

 

 

I also loved seeing many vintage quilts. All these were for sale and totally out of my price range, but just looking at them provided so much inspiration. I'm so ready to start a new quilt as soon as possible.

One silly picture of my son and husband "enjoying the quilts" before I go.

I'm sure most of you would like to hang upside down and soak in the beauty of all the quilts like that, right?   :-)

Talk to you soon. Svetlana

Happy Friday to you all!

I'm so very over the moon excited about the International Quilt Festival Chicago going on this weekend in Rosemont, IL. Our Naperville Modern Quilt Guild Log Cabin quilts are on display there and I can't wait to see them in person, yay!!!!

I've never had a quilt in any show before, so this is a very fun first for me.  I'm really looking forward to seeing my Improv Logs hanging next to tons of amazing quilts.

(I used this fantastic tutorial to make my quilt label.)

The show is Thursday 6/20 from 5-9 pm, Friday 6/21 and Sat 6/22 10 am to 6 pm, and Sun 6/23 10 am to 3pm.  Tickets are $10 per day or $25 for the weekend. There are tons of classes, open studio sessions, and demos throughout the weekend, you can see more info here.

Also, Naperville Modern Quilt Guild and Chicago Modern Quilt Guild are co-hosting a Modern Meet Up. 

Unfortunately I can't make it to the Meet Up, but I'll be at the show on Saturday. Hope to see some of you there.
