Happy Quilting!

Here are a couple pictures from the Sharon Schamber trunk show at QUILT Schenectady. They don't show all of the amazing details that are on the quilts, but trust me - they are there! Breathtaking!

WOW! WOW! WOW! Sharon Schamber hosted a trunk show of her wonderful quilts at the QUILT North meeting last night in Clifton Park. For the two people in the world who don't know of her, Sharon Schamber won a $100,000 Quilt Challenge, as well as the Best of Show Award ($10,000) at the International Quilt Festival in Houston THREE TIMES, and many, many other awards at various quilt shows around the country. She is a Master Quilter and her work is over the top gorgeous! Here are a few pictures from the trunk show.

This picture gives you an idea of the size of the details in Sharon's quilts - that is my finger in this close up shot of The Spirit of Mother Earth (the black and red quilt shown immediately above this photo). Truly amazing!

I attended a longarm machine quilting workshop with Sharon Schamber today at the "At Home Quilting" Innova dealer shop in Johnstown NY! We had a small class of 8 quilting enthusiasts soaking up every word Sharon was sharing with us. Loads of tips - and wonderful conversation. What a great day!
