PIQF report
I went to the show on Sunday. Overall, the show was a bit overwhelming. The larger size mades it hard to view in a day. A lot of the quilts are blurred together in my head. And as always, I walked away unsure of what is a traditional quilt versus what is a innovative quilt. I saw a lot of innovative quilt that looked pretty traditional to me and a lot of traditional quilts that looked innovative to me. I guess I'll have to read their critera for entering quilts next year. My favorite quilt was the one where the maker had set together several old (turn of the century) blocks/portion of quilt with a cross and machined quilted it. Wonderful! A lot of the other quilts I liked were ones that I looked and thought, oh I'd make one like that... the strippy quilt made from vintage material, another subtly strippy quilt made with mostly materials with white grounds...very springy in feel, a double four patch in autumn colors... I didn't buy a lot of fabric, but did get some African fat quarters. lisae |

The only guideline on the entry form is " Traditional and Innovative refer to design, not to construction techniques. Innovative entries should emphasize innovation in design. " -- Kathy A.

"lisae" wrote in message oups.com... Maybe the problem is that innovative in design is a a moving target. Someone starts playing with an idea; a quilt gets made and is shown, then the original quilt gets copied, and new quilts are made, copies are made of the copies. The idea is not so innovative any more. My thoughts exactly. What do you consider innovative in design? So far, my standard has been "what would the ladies who sit in the front row at guild think?" If I imagine them applauding and saying "how lovely!", it's traditional. If I imagine them shaking their heads or saying "um....", it's innovative. *grin* -- Kathy A.

This question made me smile, as I'm probably so far behind the times
that my innovative is now perfectly main stream (if not strictly traditional!). For me: anything which is embellished or painted; un-joined pieces; raw edges; burned; non-fabric; odd overall shapes; uses photos transferred onto fabric. (That's all I can think of for the moment). Some of these I like, most I don't. Funnily enough, my quilts are not all traditional, but they do have a grounding in tradition. For me a very difficult concept to get hold of is the difference between 'innovative' and 'contemporary'? .. In message .com, lisae writes Oh well, if you don't get it, I certainly have no chance...
