KC Modern Quilt Show

The weather could not have been more perfect for the Modern Quilt Guild Quilt Show on Saturday...
I may be biased, but I think it was one of the most enjoyable quilt shows I've attended....beautiful weather, wonderful and creative quilts and lovely people to spend the day with! Since I know that most of you didn't get to attend, I thought you might enjoy some snapshots of the day. Enjoy!


 Held on the campus of the University of Missouri Kansas City, the sandstone buildings, pretty trees and grounds made for lovely backdrops....


It was a rough day for me.... It takes a lot of work to help watch over all that creativity..........But, someone had to do it, right!





 The university was celebrating their homecoming over the weekend also, so there was a steady stream of visitors all day....



 You may recognize a few of my babies flapping in the gentle breeze.....



 I didn't get pictures of all of the quilts, but, hopefully, you got a taste of the creative juices that are always flowing in the BEST Modern Quilt Guild around....right here in Kansas City!

    It WAS the best show! I totally enjoyed seeing all the quilts... dare I say, even more than the quilts at the AQS show!? You all put in well-spent time to make the show so perfect. And God assisted with the weather. What a team!

    Your show looks like it was fabulous! I was a little tempted to drive to KC for it - wish it was just a bit closer. It was such a gorgeous weekend and I got lots of yard work done. You are a talented group!

    What a lovely way to display quilts, I wonder where you'd have displayed them all if you had a British climate to contend with tho! LOL.

    I'm so sad I missed this event! I just found your blog this evening...I live in Olathe and would have LOVED to go see all those quilts (and my former campus)! I sew, but haven't quilted. I found you while I was searching for fabric to make my first quilt for a friend of mine. :)

    Thanks so much for posting this wonderful photos! I flew out to San Diego on the day of the show and was sad to miss it. These help erase some of that sadness. See you at this week's meeting!
