“Why do you quilt?” I’ve often
been asked that question and I always pause to reflect. 1) I adore quilts. 2) I
need an outlet for my creativity. 3) I love to stitch. 4) I love making quilts
for friends, family and those in need. But perhaps most of all, I love to share
what I have made with others.
Seeing my quilts hanging at
the New England Quilt Museum last week was a wonderful experience. The gallery
space at NEQM is open and inviting. It most often consists of 3 separate
invitational exhibitions along with a room for quilts from their collection.

Pamela Weeks did a great job
fitting my quilts in with the remarkable antiques from the Pilgrim Roy
collection. Laura Lane pulled together a superb sample of NEQM quilts in
yellows and cheddars. I love this room because it is often such a cross section
of work.
This was on the slant board in the collections room. Delicious!
This contemporary quilt in the collections was so unique.
I hope you can read the card. One of my favorite parts of the collection room is a dresser with plexiglass covers on the drawers that contain tops or other quilts that might be too fragile to hang.
My only regret is that I was not able to make it down sooner as they
all came off the walls on Saturday.
I’m not a good photographer
and I won’t overload you with photos of my quilts since most of them have been
posted here before. I'll start with my favorite in the Pilgrim Roy collection. I just love this quilt!
And, this was my second favorite.
But really, I loved them ALL!
I'd love to make this one, but I'm afraid it wouldn't hang as straight as this one!
It is hard to see, but this one is Purple and cheddar. Yum!!
Here is a close up.
To make the day complete, I
enjoyed a delicious lunch with a few of my New England friends who made the
trek to the museum. Life is good!
What fun! I am so glad for your exhibition; totally awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting and fun day out! The quilts are marvellous and very inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteSEW glad that you were able to see the exhibit, Wendy! Thanks for sharing some photos. It's even better that you met some friends there!

ReplyDelete¡¡Felicidades !! Gracias por compartir tu experiencia
ReplyDeleteSaludos
I know you make many beautiful quilts and I know you share them here on your blog, and I'm grateful that you do. I think one of the amazing things about having so many of your quilts on display in a museum is seeing them all together, all in one place, every part of them visible, all at the same time. It must be a very powerful experience. Thanks for sharing photos, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteIt's well deserved Wendy !! Ohhh I'm so happy for you !
ReplyDeleteFirst Congrats on having your work exhibited at the museum!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the experience with us! Loved seeing all these pieces! Have a great day!
I was so happy to see your exhibit in person and see many of your quilts that I hadn't seen before.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts were displayed so wonderfully.
What a wonderful Quilty Day it was. A cherished memory~!
What an awesome exhibit. You look great with your quilts. I'm glad you got to share the excitement with friends.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to see your own quilts with other wonderful quilts from the Pilgrim Roy collection. Thanks for sharing photos with those of us who will not be able to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Wendy, your quilts are all gorgeous. I had hoped to get there. Thanks for the extra photos too.
ReplyDeleteHow rejuvenating to visit a terrific exhibit and connect with friends in person!
Congratulations on your part in the show and thanks for all the wonderful eye candy! I can see why you love the super-scrappy Pilgrim/Roy medallion quilt. And purple and cheddar sound just lovely to me!
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of you in front of your beautiful quilt! What a wonderful day that must have been. I'm glad you were able to make it before the quilts all came down, even if you did cut it close.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some bits of what you saw there. I love it all--and especially the purple and cheddar. But maybe that is because I recently tired of making a two color purple/cream quilt and have been throwing in cheddar here and there. :)
Wonderful! So deserving and to see the Pilgrim Roy quilts was a bonus for you!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's quite a legacy! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made it to NEQM just in the nick of time! Your quilts look wonderful in this amazing exhibit. Thanks for sharing all these photos. That squiggly fabric in the quilt with the bed post corners is truly fascinating.
ReplyDeleteOMG that is too weird.......I was just reading Barbs blog spot about the exhibition and then had to read her posts again and your ..........OMG they are your quilts.......how terribly exciting to see them hanging in a beautiful location........so pleased you did get to see them.........congrats
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks like a fantastic show - congratulations for your part in it. Not for the first time I find myself wishing I was on the other side of the Atlantic.

ReplyDeleteHerpes can be cured because it truly has a complete cure. I’m a living witness of it because I recently got rid of my HSV VIRUS within just two weeks. And as I speak right now! I’m perfectly cured from the herpes disease. There is a cure and it's called herbal medicine. I'm so glad to have come in contact with Herbal doctor Kham who is also known as the two weeks healer of herpes virus. Doctor Kham got me cured completely from my long term genital herpes (HSV VIRUS) with the help of his powerful and effective herbal medication which I took for only two weeks, and I got a good result being cured from the herpes disease. If you are out there diagnosed or suffering from the herpes virus you can reach out to Herbal doctor Kham for help in getting rid of your herpes virus forever just the way he helped me got rid of mine; His email address is dr.khamcaregiver@gmail.com or for his quick response to you, you can reach him on WhatsApp with +2348159922297 The medical industry/Big Pharmacies make huge profits off treatments and modern drugs/medicines that can't even get the herpes virus cured. That's why they don't want you to know the cure. Aaron Traywick had a cure for HIV and herpes and he turned up dead like a week later, even Nipsey Hussell was murdered along with Lisa Left Eye Lopes by the US Government simply because these people were doing a research on how Dr Sebi makes herb for the cure to herpes virus and HIV. The Doctor Sebi in question was also killed by the US Government just because he was having the cure to herpes and HIV. Don't you find that fishy?

ReplyDeleteMy heart was broken. I never believed I would get my ex back until Dr Akhigbe brought my ex in 48hrs with a powerful love spell. It is reliable to get a positive result, contact the spell caster for a love spell by email: drakhigbespellhome7@gmail.com or WhatsApp on +2349021374574.
