Pacific International Quilt Festival is a quilt show that I like to attend every year.
It's a short drive from where I live, so dropping in for a few hours is low hanging fruit and a serious treat for the eyes.
This year was no exception.
I took lots of photos of quilts, ribbons won, and info sheets about the quilts and the people who made them. The quilt above is called Celestial Splendor and was made by Rachel Wetzler of Illinois. It was stunning in person, as were many other quilts but this was one of my favorites.
A highlight for me was meeting (In Person!!!) Nancy Brown, amazing applique artist. It was like meeting a rock star for me. You can see some photos of me with her and the ladies who helped do the applique on the quilt that was in the show this year. It was another one of my favorites and I took a lot of detailed photos of it. There are San Francisco and animal themes in the block designs.
Here's a link to all the photos I took at Pacific International Quilt Festival 2014.
I didn't photograph all the quilts, only the ones that either won big awards or really inspired me.
Oh right and if you missed the previous nine years of the show (unlike me!) and want to see another oh say...four or five THOUSAND quilt photos from PIQF...well - look no further!! Perhaps you should make yourself a cup (barrel?) of tea first.

Thank you for these glorious, wonderful photos and the labels that add so much to the story. I know how long it takes to do a photo essay like this and I want you to know how much I appreciate it. I live in Michigan so no chance of getting to the show. The exposures are perfect.
