thanks for showing us those marvellous quilts. I think we are entering in a different type of art. The thread is the star now, not anymore the piecing and its shapes and colours.

Love the one with the elephants in two dimensions. I think I just added another project. By any chance. Did you take a close up picture of it?

MQX Is Machine quilters exposition so it is all machine quilting no hand. But not all longarm, many quilts were done on DSM and quite a few didn't specify what machine they used to quilt. It is going on right now in Providence Rhode Island. They do a west coast one as well, I think it is in October. If you google MQX the website will come up.

Remarkable. I can't imagine the talent it takes to make one of those masterpieces. I really appreciate you taking the photos and sharing them with us.

My favorite was also the elephant - gorgeous!
