red and white

I had the great pleasure of walking the Red and White quilts exhibit with Denyse Schmidt the other day. Denyse knows a tremendous amount about quilts (of course), so it was great fun to just listen and look.





I love the way the quilts were displayed. The show really took advantage of the space inside the Armory, and the cardboard tubes used to hang the quilts were and ingenious solution to hanging such a large quantity of quilts for a short amount of time.

I could say more about the show, but there's already been lots written, so I'll just leave it at that.

Many more photos here. Excuse the blurry ones--the lighting was a bit tricky, and I was busy looking instead of concentrating on the photos.

  6. your pics are great- I ran in and took a 15min on my way to pick up my daughter from school. Wish i would have had more time and a camera! So glad you have many pics. I definitely see a red/white quilt in my future.

  8. Oh, I so wanted to see that exhibit. We tried to plan our trip around that exhibit, but couldn't get the nanny later in March. Lucky you. The display does look amazing.
