There are 2 major quilt guilds here in Lansing. Capitol City Quilt Guild which I belong to with about 200 members and Lansing Area Patchers which has a membership I think of about 70. We put quilt shows on on alternating years and this year was LAP's turn. I went to their show on Saturday and then was at the flea market all day the next day. I worked in the morning from 9-11 selling raffle tickets on our guild's raffle quilt. Then I went through the show. It's always nice to see friends work that maybe you haven't seen at our small meeting. Or maybe that you have seen but not in a while. Here were a few favorites:

I also saw this quilt at the Shipshewana quilt show last year and recently came across in on the cover of a 2005 Quilter's Newsletter Magazine. I have been saving bright and polka dots, but still am not sure I'm up to this. Great job Carolyn.
Warm Wishes by Georgiana Viele
Well, these were a few of the quilts at the LAP Show. Can you tell my favorites are traditional quilts? Even so, I don't remember seeing a lot of "art quilts" at the show. But that's fine by me. I take inspiration where ever I find it.
Great show ladies. Thanks for your hard work.
