Below is a beautiful quilt called "Une Belle Amitie`", by quiltmaker Cynthia Williford & designed by Harold Williford (her son). This quilt was inspired by Baltimore Friends Album by Mary Simon.
I enjoyed meeting them both & hearing about their inspiration, design, & completion. Scroll down for a full view of the quilt.
A labor of love...
A closer look at center block...
You can't tell from my photos but, there is quite a lot of hand beading.
For more details about this quilt & the house in the center block visit Cynthia's website at www.cynthiawilliford.com. If I remember correctly, there are wonderful close up pictures of more of the blocks on this quilt on her website. Cynthia is also available to teach & lectures as well. In person, her quilt was breathtakingly beautiful.
The next quilt is another beautiful traditional original design by Sharon Schamber called, "Once Upon A Time". It also has a lot of hand work & is machine quilted. Her work is also beautiful. Again my pictures do not do these quilts justice.

I'm so inspired by these quilts that I'm going to close this post for today & actually make some progress on my own quilts.
Carve out a little time each day for happy hour in your creative areas...
Thanks for taking time to visit my blog. I hope today's post inspired you in some way.
Until next time...
