The mister and I attended the inaugural AQS quilt show in Phoenix several weeks ago. I really enjoyed myself and even the mister felt inspired by all of the beautiful and artistic quilts. I didn’t make my credit card scream too very loudly and I took quite a few photos. Please note that it was a busy and packed show, so most of my photos had to be taken from the side. Therefore they aren’t of the best quality, but I think you will appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship nonetheless.
Detail work of first quilt
This quilt looked like a photograph. I thought those lambs would walk right off the wall!
Great modern “scrappy” quilt
The detail and stitch work on this piece was amazing!
The variety and themes of the creations knew no bounds!
Super sweet with lovely quilting. 
Very large and very detailed landscape quilt. I was amazed at the range of materials used and the realism. 
Detail of above quilt
I love octopuses, so this appealed to me. However, the name of the quilt is Fern Rising. Super complex and very creative!
Close up of the stitching and bead work
What an interesting quilt and a very different technique.
Yet another landscape but with a more modern feel. Love the Southwest-y colors and theme.
Detail work of above
This reminds me of our nearly daily sunrise and sunset show at my house!
The playful theme of this caught my eye, but the fantastic detail work kept me looking for a long time
Much more complex and realistic when viewed closer
This is a wonderful photo-realistic piece. I can only imagine the hours and effort that it took to make this beauty!
Detail of above.
I hope you enjoyed this quick walk through of just a few of the quilts that I had the privilege to see and photograph. I have a project of my own that I need to focus on, so I will now turn back to my sewing machine.
