This morning I was in Cleveland and there was snow on the ground, but tonight I am back in Boulder and the grass we seeded at our new building is starting to come up! Yay!
Over the weekend I was at the Chicago Spring Quilt Festival, and I loved this happy Rainbow Leaf quilt by Elsie Campbell in the Aurifil Color exhibit. I know Elsie from the Bernina Ambassador program, and it was such a delight to admire the gorgeous quilting in the white ‘negative space’ in this quilt, and then realize I know the talented maker. This quilt was machine quilted, but also hand-appliqued and embellished. I love seeing quilts that mix handwork and machine stitching, for maximum impact.
The quilt image is set in a collage frame of Flower, Bird and Galaxy prints we have in stock now.
Many thanks to the 3 ‘Love Your Mother’ artists who came to Chicago to participate in the Gallery Talk. Annette, Janice and Melissa each spoke about their quilts, and their concerns for Mother Earth. The Human Rights ‘OURstory’ exhibit was hanging a couple aisles away, and there were several powerful statements made in that group of quilts as well. This project was organized by Susanne Miller Jones, who also did the HerStory project last year.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
