Pacific International Quilt Festival

Amazing!  Went to the Pacific International Quilt Festival in Santa Clara again this year.  The floor space is divided between booth of quilt stores, suppliers, pattern makers, quilting industry vendors, and exhibition of quilts of all kinds.  There are people with white gloves that will lift and flip up the quilt corners so you can see the back sides.  Gorgeous and jaw dropping.    I wish I knew how many quilts were on display, it was very extensive.  Sometimes I wasn’t taking pictures, just taking it all in. Sometimes when I wanted to take pictures, there were just too many people to get a shot.  So I have a miniscule representation of what was there, and have edited to show a variety here.  From traditional style quilts with detailed workmanship, to the very innovative , its all inspiring.  Wish you were there!
