My V-String Vest and I checked out the Red & White quilts at the Park Avenue Armory today. Was awestruck by the Infinite Variety (title) achieved by the use of just two colors. The 650 quilts shown span several centuries. Mostly traditional designs and hand sewn, they conveyed a feeling of timelessness. I also was feeling extremely proud of all our quilting foremothers and their contributions to our culture. I strongly recommend seeing this exhibit, however, I do wish it would stay a little longer. Closes on the 30th here, but it will probably go on tour.
What lovely eye candy for first thing in the morning; thanks, Helen (with Blog) !~!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the peek at the show. You look fabulous in your vest, front and back!
ReplyDeleteYour vest is really splendid, Helen (and thanks for the tip about the side seams!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. HOwever, I really wish I could be there. Saw a video on the show on Tonya Ricucci's site and it really gave you the flavor of the fabulousness of it all. Lucky you.
