Please comment and I will add it to the post. On display in a Modern Quilt Guild booth. The best representation of the vibe in Long Beach I thought. I loved this piece! It is SO lava lamp-ish. I can feel the cold and why the bird is all fluffed up. Evening Meal, Allison Wilburĭon’t you just love that edge? Dreaming of Spring, Suzan Engler In no particular order: Bars Quilt, unknown makerīeautiful quilting! I MUST make a bar quilt someday. I ran around and took photos like a mad woman, then enjoyed them later when things slowed down. I literally had 25 minutes to see the whole show, and apparently I missed several entire exhibits. On to the quilts! The show was beautifully displayed with very wide aisles: But there was a trade-off the food choices on premises were limited.Ī hot dog, chips and water was $19.85!! And I NEVER eat hot dogs but at least this was a beef dog, a pretty good one I must say. Everyone did so well! Some were beginners and some had considerable experience, but everyone had a good time.Įven though we were surrounded by restaurants, they were almost all sit-down venues and I didn’t want to take the time. It was one of those classes that teachers dream about. My students really were happy! I noticed that similar to previous years, some will leave early, I think to miss traffic:

We were on a variety of high end Janome’s and they performed flawlessly.ĭay two’s class was full with a wait list, Free Motion Quilting, Start With a Square: I was so proud of my students, embracing the process and making huge strides in one day! My first day class was my intro class, “Yes You CAN Free Motion Quilt!”. My classes were wonderful! Everyone was so thrilled to return to in-person classes and have the Festival back open. It provided the most magical glow at night. I felt like a Queen! It doesn’t take much to impress me, lol!Īnd this was such a charming piece of art:

One button moved the sheer blinds up and down and another moved the black out shades up and down. I am easily impressed: I loved the blinds. So I got this:Īs you can imagine, the room was spacious. When I realized that, I tried to get them to put me in a regular room, but apparently it would have been difficult to change the reservation. It looked like fun, especially at night, but I did not have the time to play. I stayed at the adjoining Hyatt, known for its “Swan Boats”: The architecture of the convention center is, um, interesting: Long Beach is a beautiful town it’s friendly and packed with restaurants, at least in the area around the convention center. I had a great time exploring Long Beach, teaching, and a wee bit of time viewing the quilts. I am so happy that the Long Beach Quilt Festival returned after 9 long years! It is a great venue and the attendees were thrilled to be there.
