In March 2011 thier was a very special exhibition in NYC of Red and White quilts.
My Pic and I were lucky enough to go and not only were we absolutely knocked out by these quilts but we meet up with fellow bloggers from around the world and made some new friends along the way.
This weekend Linda http://quiltsinthebarnaus.blogspot.co.uk/ has created her own Red and White exhibition so you might want to hop over there in the next few days and take a look as thier is going to be plenty of eye candy for sure
Some have already been and Dorothy http://dorothysthreadsoflife.blogspot.co.uk/ and Miriam http://yellowrosequilts.blogspot.co.uk/ have started posting some eye candy and with lots more to follow.
I had such a good time in NYC at the exhibition and have meet up with lots that attended it since and am pretty sure our paths will cross again.
I meet up again with Barb http://funwithbarbandmary.blogspot.co.uk/ at the Vemont Quilt Festival this year and she gave me this little red and white quilt.
Such a cool backing and label.
These little red and white beauties cheer up my wall in my sewing room.
The Infinite Variety of Red and White quilts set the quilt world alight and if only Joanne Rose knew how many friendships would be born from it.
Have a great weekend.

What a lovely and thoughtful gift. You must have a very cheerful sewing room.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The highlight of my trip to NYC was getting to know a special woman that is YOU!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that exhibit was more then just about the quilts, It was so much fun spending 2 days there with Linda and her friends , meeting you and many other quilters from all over the world. It is a memory that will stay with me forever.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be at QITB this weekend, imagine all the fun all over again!

Sue, so happy you had the trip to the US. Lovely thought and gift from your friend.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great exhibition. After reading your blog at the time, I decided that I was going to see this show, with or without a travel partner. I met Lori (Humble Quilts) , Vic (BumbleBeans) and Linda (Quilts in the Barn) and it was a fabulous show.
