Yesterday I went to a local quilt show call held by a guild call Quinobequin Quilters. Below are a few of my favorites from the show. I wish they did not pin the information of the quilt on the actual quilt, I find that it takes away from the quilt.
(Above: Yoga Ladies, machine pieced, machine quilted by Beth Green)
(Above: Heatwave, hand pieced and quilted by Kathy Whelan)

Beautiful aren't they?
One of my pet peeves about quilting is when a quilter takes the time to hand piece a quilt top and then decides to machine quilt the quilt instead of hand quilting it. I believe this takes away from the meaning of the quilt. I am not knocking off machine quilting, I do machine quilting myself, but when many hours are put into a quilt top, why not carry the technique forward?
