Ian and Maxwell, Thank you for your presentation of your favorite quilts and the thoughtful commentary. There are so many beautiful quilts brought to us by a labor of love and hours and hours of hard work. Thank you to all the quilters that shared them with us all. My favorite was the Kafe Fassett fabrics pieced by a quilting group in Texas at 18:49 and the yellow/green traditional quilt at 19:49.
Well done Ian & Maxwell 👍. We certainly saw some beautiful quilts, I personally was quite taken by the pixelated Mona Lisa quilt. Love quilts show unfortunately I have only been to a half dozen. Thanks for sharing your video tour. 👍❤️🙂
Loved both tours of the quilt show so far. Thank you so much. I live in northern British Columbia, Canada. We do not go to many quilt shows as they are far away. I appreciate seeing these. I wish the COVID lock down had taught people that we can handle video shows. If these great shows are starting to have lower attendance, it would be appreciated if they would sell online tickets. In future, if you ask for a donation towards your expenses, I could see that being worth it. Thanks for the tour. ❤
Well done, Ian and maxwell, on the video through your eyes. The quilts are amazing.shame are not a lot of people there. Shame jen quilts did not win, but in our eyes, jen won. They was both amazing and so much hard work. We all so proud of her. From D UK🇬🇧
Loved the tour. Loved seeing Ian and Maxwell's favorite choices. So interesting. I also love the quilts that show the color wheel so to speak. They really pop and the design was gorgeous. I like Kaffe's fabrics. I have some but I am hoarding them. I better get to it. Also, I want to make a New York Beauty quilt one day. So many to chose from. Thanks for the tour Ian & Maxwell. P.S. I love locomotives as well so I understand the choice. Love TO the Trueloves. I hope you are feeling better each day Jean.
OMG the thought process and time which have gone into all these quilts? Loved the beach scene ones with the silhouettes of people and the little girl was cute. Colors, colors liked some with all different darker hues. I don’t think about going dark? Thank you Ian and Maxwell, for the man’s point of view. Lovely💕💕
I must be biased as well. I thought both of Jean's quilts were gorgeous, and the quilting was the cherry on top. My favorite is the embroidery quilt. I've embroidered since before I started school. I know beautiful embroidery when I see it. But, the snowflake quilt, especially finishing off the rows with fairy frost fabric was so beautiful. The background read blue with a bit of lavender, yet she showed us the other colors. I loved that each snowflake was different. 😊❤
I loved the quilt with the story of the Sioux Chief bringing color to the world. I live in an area where there's a large population of Sioux, Lakota Sioux, and Dakota Sioux. My first husband was half Sioux. 😊❤
The empty floor and quilt booths looked so sad 😢 I’ve been to Mancuso shows and I have never seen one so empty. For that matter I don’t believe I’ve ever seen any quilt show so empty. You mentioned the emptiness in video part 1. Thank you for your insight Ian and Maxwell. Happy that you were well enough to attend Jean 😊
I have many older people in my community that love my creations I make with Kaffe Fasset fabrics. Something as simple as bowl cozies they absolutely flock towards. I think it's because it's difficult to have an appetite for just 1. Others have grandchildren over. They use my Kaffe creations to get their grandchildren to eat, or give as gifts. They ask specifically for that bright fabric you use.😊 Then ask if I can make something for a grandchild going to college. I always use very bright fabrics anyway. ❤😊 I have some woman that buys my Amish Star potholders. She mattes and frames my potholders! To each their own I guess. 😊 If it makes someone happy, I don't care. I've been selling a lot of adjustable toddler sized aprons, for painting, cooking, carving pumpkins, whatever. The kids love not wearing something that looks like a bib. They're simple as can be, and adorable. I can send the pattern if you like.😊❤
I would love some pictures of the creations you talk about. If you can share the links to the patterns, awesome. My son didn’t want to throw away a card I made him with fabric so I’ve started making potholders. Easy to mail for family events. ❤thank you.
Thank you for all your show photos. My thoughts regarding this show and probably many other quilt shows … I live in rural Canada so my thoughts maybe wrong. Quilting today is an awfully expensive hobby and has become more so in the last few years. A lot of these beautiful travelling quilts are done what I would call at a “professional” level … done with expensive sewing machines, even more expensive long arm machines which over powers the average hobby/home quilter’s quilts. Rent of a booth would be terribly expensive therefore not allowing the average quilt shop to make much of a profit, but machine dealers make large profits selling equipment and in many cases are sponsored by the manufacturer, therefore, machine dealers can afford a booth. Certainly a good place to view different machines though. Whereas nearly all quilt shops are privately owned and the profit margin would be small and maybe all they would gain is exposure to a broader cliental. Although I like large quilt shows I prefer and support the local quilt guild sponsored shows.
Thats what we think...rent, expense, gasoline, travel expenses, accomodation, staff, etc., is driving up the cost. Thank goodness I have a large stash to pull from! :)
Great to here the views of a man about these quilts. Great video. Desley

Yes, it was sad to see. Not so much of the lovely buzz of yesteryears
