So I promised you some eye candy from the Mountain Quiltfest Show in Pigeon Forge, didn't I?
Warning! This is a very picture-heavy post!!!
There were some absolutely GORGEOUS quilts in this show. I'm sharing a few of my favorites. It was a smaller show compared to some of the AQS and International shows, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to go again regularly :*)
I posted about
this quilt - my favorite - in an earlier post
HERE.

| Circle of Curiosity by Anne B.G. Armour |
You can click on the link to see more closeups and details of this wonderful quilt.
Here are the other photos I took, in no particular order. I was a very bad girl in that I neglected to get the names of the quilters for most of them. I hope you enjoy!

| Talk about pineapples!!! Wow!!! |
 |
| Interesting quilting motif here.... |
 |
I loved the scrappiness of this row quilt! It was much brighter and very colorful :*)

Now this quilting took time! But it was very effective.
I like how the quilter split some of the squares up diagonally.
(Sorry, no pictures of the actual quilt - apparently I just loved the quilting LOL) |
 |
| Gorgeous quilting - and those birds in the corner are machine embroidered! |
 |
Paula Nadelstern's Caribbean Blues. There was a special display of some of her quilts - YUM!!!
One of my classes was with Paula and I'll be sharing more about her later :*) |

Very visual impact - and this was in the Teen Quilt section!

And finally, I saw this lady standing in line next to me to have our scissors sharpened. Her necklace just fascinated me, so I asked if I could take a picture to share with you all. Isn't it FUN????
I hope you enjoyed the Show!
