Beth Polidan's Truck Show - Part 2

Here are the rest of the hand quilted quilts and some quilt tops that Beth Polidan showed our guild at her Trunk Show: 


This is a quilt that Beth quilted with lovely straight and diagonal lines:

Another quilt with a close-up picture of Beth's hand quilting on it:


Such tiny, even stitches!



This quilt was quilted with the Baptist Fan quilting pattern:

This is a quilt top that Beth owns and she bought it because it was so unusual. 
It is made of quarter circles hand sewed onto background squares.  But the quilt top was made with the same fabrics facing each other in four squares, which resulted in a big circle - but more work than just appliqueing a circle on a big square, because it was made of four pieces of fabric.  I wonder what the quilt maker was thinking?







Here's a picture of the whole quilt top:  It looks quite modern, doesn't it?


Next, dear to my heart, is a redwork top:


I liked this moose:


This is a lovely Irish Chain Quilt Top


And another quilt top Beth owns:


This top has lovely sashing:



A big thank you to Beth Polidan for sharing her quilts with us!!

I will close with pictures of the flowers at Guild that day.  Summer has been so beautiful here in Michigan:






I am linking up with Design Wall Mondays at Patchwork Times to see what other quilters are working on today.  (Here)

Beth Polidan's Trunk Show at Our Guild

Beth Polidan is a member of our guild here in Manistee, Michigan, and she also attends a guild in Florida during the winter months.  She is a hand quilter and has beautiful small even stitches.  This past week, she brought some of her collection of quilts in for us to see.  She gave me permission to share them with you.  Enjoy!
Old top - taken apart and put back together by Beth.
Back of quilt - showing the hand quilting.

Purchased top, mended and hand quilted by Beth
A Crib Quilt of Hexies - This was my favorite one!
The piecing and quilting were so tiny.
Love it, love it, love it!

Love the border she put on this basket quilt.

Simplicity of an old Irish Chair well quilted.
Beth's choices on hand quilting this one were spot on!

See what I mean?
Well, that's enough eye candy for today.  I will continue Beth's Trunk Show on the next post.

Today is Monday, and I'm linking up with Patchwork Times to see what other quilters have on their design walls.  (Here)

What am I working on?  I'm sewing the last two rows together to complete a quilt top.  It's almost complete!
