Wendy's Wonderful World

How excited are we to finally visit Wendy Reed's quilt exhibit at the New England Quilt Museum.  Woo Hoo

Wendy, Randy and I planned a post covid, fully vaccinated  getaway with the is event as the centerpiece. 

From the left; Wendy, Pam, the Museum Curator, Gladi Porche and Laura Lane, Museum Collections Manager.  I had never seen this quilt in person before.  It is called "The Grapes of Bath" which is where Wendy's lives in Maine.

Wendy's creativity and exemplary quilting skills make for incredible quilts.  Her favorite style is the potholder setting.  Each block is created and bound individually then whip stitched together.   This was intricately puzzled together quilt.

It was such a joy to meander through the exhibit spaces and admire Wendy's work.

Gladi Porche  met us at the museum and it was wonderful to meet her person.  Her work is a source of inspiration for me.  

She has created two incredible blog posts on Wendy's exhibit here is Part 1 and here is Part 2.   Visit and enjoy all the information and please leave her a thanks in the comments.

We rented a tiny cottage 250 steps from the beach at the north end of Plum Island. Fabric and quilting everywhere you look!

Early morning walks were scented with lilacs and wisteria.

What a charming seaside town.

The beach was wide and beautiful.

Is there anything more silly than a group of mature women trying to take a public selfie? 

Randy I have waited a long time toast a Cosmopolitan.  Cheers!

Thank you everyone for all the kind and complimentary comments on my Chernobyl finish and photos.

I have started a quilt for the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in 1979.  I am still having trouble with the outside seam allowance😖😖.   More details to come.  Here is the first 2 blocks.

I wish you all a Happy and Healthy Memorial Day Weekend and congratulations again to Wendy and her Wonderful World of Quilts.
