They were really stunning displayed that way....a great idea by someone. The stained glass windows added more color! Not as easy to see all the beauty of the quilts, but you could see enough to really enjoy them.
What a lovely way to display the quilts, I love it that you have so many good quilt shows there, we don't have many in the UK but the ones they have are good!
That was a great idea to have them on the pews. Did you get to touch them? I guess not touching quilts at any show is always a better idea, because of staining etc.
Goosey: This was just a little show by a church. There are probably lots of shows like that in the US. Many old fashioned quilting bee groups began in church basements :-) I'm hoping to go to another quilt show this next week in Ohio and then there is another small local show on the 20th where they hang the quilts outside on clotheslines in a beautiful garden setting. I'm looking forward to both!
Brenda: They had gloves you could put on to touch them. We allow that for our local show, too. It's nice to get to look closely and see the stiches and such...unlike at the really big shows where you have to lean in and squint :-)
This blog is mostly an archive of my past and present quilt projects. I started "quilting" in 1984 when I made a bluejean quilt for my son. For about 10 years I did nothing but cut 6 inch squares and sew them into small patchwork lap quilts that were very badly made and gave them as gifts to everyone I knew. Never actually quilted any of them...always tied them. My sister, Margaret bought me all the gagets a modern quilter uses....cutting table, mat, ruler, rotary cutter and I finally learned that quilting could be fun. What a nice sister I have! The show "Simply Quilts" was the next step in my quilt education and I learned so much and tried so many things once I began watching. What a blessing Alex Anderson and her show was to the beginning quilter! What I post in this blog is what I enjoy doing! I finally feel like a "quilter" even though I have much to learn and still am not good at the actual quilting process! That's why they invented long arm quilting machines and people who can use them!

Beautiful quilts and what a neat idea, using the pews to display them.
