Fabulous Local Quilt Exhibit of 90 Year Old Quilter
My friend told me about a local quilt exhibit, with all of the items in the exhibit made by one 90 year old woman.
My friend asked if I was interested in going. Yes! So, go we did. It was such a wonderful exhibit. The quilt artist started quilting 30 years ago. How amazing!
On the table in front of this amazing quilter are some coasters she made and gave away to people who attended the show.
There were so many different quilt styles and fabrics and added embroidery. Some of the quilts had themes of the four seasons or flowers of the twelve months of the year or the twelve zodiac animals or English alphabets.
This frog and lily pad hanging is done on a very sheer fabric.
This redwork piece is Anne of Green Gables, a favorite book of mine.
This large bed size log cabin quilt was the quilter's first quilt and was featured in a magazine.

The Kyoto Quilt below was really amazing and I took some close ups of individual parts.
This Cathedral Windows quilt has larger windows on the bottom.
I really liked this one. Can you find the "I"? This one was featured in a magazine.
Thank you for making it to the end. This exhibit was especially nice after staying home for so many months.

What an amazing exhibition, so many beautiful pieces and the hand quilting is amazing. So many bags! Must go back for another look, thanks for sharing Pamela. What a very clever lady.
That is an amazing collection of amazing work!
It is nice to be able to start going out and seeing things again. The exhibition doesn't look very crowded, although it deserves a huge audience.
That was wonderful! I can't believe she didn't start quilting until she was 60! Thank you for taking us to the exhibit with you!
Pamela: What an amazing display of beautiful items.
