Quilt show 2022 Mid-Century Modern and Wearables

 October 2022, Pacific International Quilt Fair at the Santa Clara Convention center

So many amazing quilts of all sorts, I've broken up my photos into different posts.  Sparkly thread/beads and 3D were popular this year. My favorites are the mid-century modern.  The labels are approximate. 

LOVE!!  The back has an off-air signal pattern.  Quilted to look like terry cloth;








Something about this color scheme that I love










Based on her grandmothers scarf, love it!



Shasiko stitching showed up in some quilts, but is really highlighted here in the wearables.  

I would totally buy this!

Each of those little flowers, then sewn together...so much work!

Halloween 2022 at Great America

Halloween festivities at our local Great America, October 2022

They used to set up a scary version, but recently toned it down.  

They still have plenty of creepy things, like this hearse with stickers of the spooky places it has visited.


Love the skeletal flamingos

Black light makes everything spooky

Lots of kids activities, including rock painting?!?  


A very large area is dedicated to gourd displays.  Impressed by the folks who put them together, they look great.





Gourd rainbow

Plastic gourd farm animals


Lots of folks taking their pictures in front of the large display

There was no escaping the gourds!




Fun details
