Southern Accents Quilt show

Last Thursday there were only  a few of us meeting so we decided to visit the Ruth Funk Textile Museum at F.I.T.  We are so lucky to have that small treasure of a museum here.  The show was called "Southern Accents" and it was just wonderful.
I am always amazed at the wondrous cornucopia of visions that are in artists minds and the patience and love of craft it takes to express this these visions.  The motifs, colors, textures, ideas and results were so varied and just a joy to see.
I took a few photos to share.

Collaborations

This week the Seaside Quilters, of which our own Denette is a member and one of the originators of this great idea, had their Collaborations Show. The idea was to put together a quilter with an artist and let them decide what they would like to do. Some artists and quilters worked one on one and some artists had two quilters to work with. The result of these pairings was everything from Rhapsody in Blue to Buddha to Mosiacs to Dolls.  It was a great show with lots of wonderful ideas and unique displays.
