We drove south to Sierra Vista, AZ to see a quilt show a friend from Kenosha participates in. The drive along Interstate 19 gave us views of the other side of the Santa Rita Mountains.
There are cloudy days in Arizona.
I should have taken more pictures. These quilts of all sizes were spectacular. This third prize winner was part of a "challenge" category. Quilters must use recycled materials. Since I love tea, this one was my favorite. It is hard to see but the tags with strings are sewn into the fabric tea cups too. There was another that wove newspaper into a basket and had paper flowers growing out of it. Also, one very creative quilter placed a fabric washing machine in one corner and had all the stuff that falls out of pockets when washed, pins, crumbled receipts, candy wrappers, coins. All very cute.
The large "serious" quilt were magnificent. How someone envisions the colors and then the patterns and then gets it together perfectly and THEN.... has an intricate quilting pattern on top of it all to hold it to the backing is AMAZING!! We left with visions of colors and impressions of true art work in our heads.
Trip back through the Border Patrol.
These are no nonsense guys. Jim made me put the camera away in case it would cause a big inspection when we got to the officers.
