Saturday we attended the annual OBX Community Quilt Show at the Roanoke Island Festival Park. QUILT SHOW HOURS: Mon–Fri 9AM to 4PM, Saturday 10AM to 4PM, Sunday CLOSED. The show runs until March 21st. The challenge quilts were Beach Box to Bungalo -- houses. I have a small quilt (unfinished on my design wall) that would have been great to finish and enter. Needless to say there was no way I was going to be able to do that and finish my Let's Sing quilt. So, no, I didn't finish and enter that quilt.
It is not a huge quilt show but it has some really nice quilts. The challenge quilts are wonderful and some are so very creative. There are several quilts made by young people. And, several beautiful old quilts. I only took a few pictures:

| Bermuda Houses by Chris Cooper |

| Dream Big Daffodil Wholecloth quilted by Marsha Sachs inspired by Hoffman's Dream Big preprinted panel. |

| OBX Community Quilters Raffle Quilt. FYI - I hope to win this quilt! |
I really should have taken more pictures as there were some great quilts there. If you are going to the OBX in the next few weeks it is a nice quilt show and it's free!. You can read more about what else is available to see and do at Roanoke Festival Island on Wikipedia. Also near by is the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site which is where the original English settlers lived and disappeared from in the 16th century. The disappearance of the original settlers remains an unsolved mystery to this day.

I'm not adding any more to my goal list as I must have this top done by next week. Hopefully I'll have something new of mine to show you next week. Specifically a finished doggie quilt!
I'm linking up with Oh Scrap, Monday Making, Main Crush Monday, and Design Wall Monday. And, even though I have a full plate with the quilt I need to finish, I hope to spend some time surfing blogs during the week!
Happy Quilting All! Bonnie

ReplyDeleteThat beach house quilt is really unique!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the details and some of the quilts from the show!! Best of luck in attaining your goals this week.
ReplyDeleteBermuda Houses is lovely. The quilted clouds and waves are just perfect. I also love how the effect of roof tiles is conveyed just by quilting. May be next time you will enter...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you win the raffle! That's a seriously neat quilt :)
ReplyDeleteI love going to quilt shows: they are so inspiring and rev up the juices to finish projects to start new ones. You know the drill. Pretty quilts shown. I also love your doggies and can't wait to see it together.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quilt show pics. I think the flower is a dahlia, not a daffodil, and the quilting on it was fantastic. I wish I could machine quilt. Hope to see your doggies quilt on your blog soon! Judy
