Vintage Modern

I shared on my Thanksgiving/Thursday I Like Post about the quilts on display at the recent sewing expo that I attended. 

Per the sign Handi Quilter Educators bring vintage quilt tops to life with beautiful, modern, longarm quilting.  Their intent was to honor the original quilt top maker by quilting her quilt top in a way that she could never imagine.  I have enlarged the pictures as much as possible so that you can enjoy the quilting and texture. 

The original quilt I showed was called "Who's Myna?" 
Quilted by Marie Eldredge.  Per the hang tag there was a tag pinned to the quilt top with the name Myna.

The next quilt was called Orange Blossom. It was a mixture of embroidery and arcs.



This quilt was displayed that it was even difficult to get a picture of the hang tag.

I liked this one it was called X's and O's and was quilted by Johnny Barfus.



Stars Coming Out was quilted by Patty Kerns.  I love the shirtings used in the stars that make it appear almost if they are trapunto.

I loved the simplicity of this quilt and the picture doesn't do the colors justice.  The background is almost coral.  The quilt is called Coral Dreams and was quilted by Lana Russel. 


Endless Rainbows by Judy Hays.  Simple pattern, but the quilting just makes it fabulous.

 I love the border treatment. 

Sunflower by Debby Brown



The Spice of Life by Kate Quinn.



Checkered Past by Denise Dowdrick. I don't know if you can tell, but the binding is plaid!



Square in a Square by Mary Yoder.



Tripping Geese by Kim Sandberg.  I love the blues in this quilt!



Matchmaker by Amy Van Gurp. 



New Growth by Julie Elliot.



Diamonds and Bows by Pat Alderman


  There were a few modern quilts too that were shown at QuiltCon

Infinite Magnification by Christine Perrigo




Four Triangles Ombre by Malka Dubrawsky



Separated by Valerie Lubaerecki


This is actually all pieced and some of those pieces are about 1/4 of an inch.



I will admit that I have recently purchased a couple of unfinished vintage quilt tops inexpensively to work on my quilting.
