The Kankakee Quiltmakers Guild has a show every other year. I spent a couple hours there today admiring all the beautiful quilts and soaking up all the inspiration.
This design was so simple and yet so unique.
Another simple but beautiful quilt.
I thought of One Flower Wednesday when I looked at this one. I WILL get back to those. I enjoy sewing them - it's the cutting I don't care for..... the one reason I now want a GO! cutter.
All these dresses were embellished - with lace, ric rac, buttons....
I thought at first that all the circles on this quilt were appliqued and I was stunned. They're not... it's fabric. But it still made for a striking quilt.
Beautiful applique and beautiful quilting...
I love the shape of this tree. I didn't notice the sparkles until I got home and looked at the picture.
Several of the quilts were red work.... just lovely.
This one made me smile every time I looked at it.
These are just a few of the quilts. I took pictures of nearly every one. If you want to see the rest they can be found on my Flickr page. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and treat yourself to a slide show of inspiration.

I love the pinwheel quilt!
This really is inspiring! I'm tempted to go borrow a sewing machine and try my hand. Your posts often have that effect on me.
