New England Quilt Museum!
I had a day of good weather so I drove up to the NEQM to see the new exhibits and my quilts on display. Thank you to Pam and all the volunteers who made everything look so beautiful.
Here is my Artist's Statement~ 
Old Abe has never looked so good. Nice to have it on display for his 213th Birthday.
I don't know who Joan and Lew are, but their little note in the guest book touched my heart.
Laura L. has put together a gorgeous display of Tree Quilts from the museum's collection.
There is a bird exhibit on display that I loved.
I'll share one with you.
I adore this quilt by Ruth McDowell.
Since the show is still open that's all I'll share for now. I know several people who are going to attend, so I like to let them discover it all for themselves. See details on the NEQM Website.
I'll be giving a talk to The Applique' Society this Saturday at 1pm Central Time.
Here is a link to their website if you are interested in becoming a member. Membership is $25. There are many resources and benefits.
I thought I had finished my words quilt.
Then I decided to go back and quilt additional lines. I'm glad I did. I will say more about that when it is completely finished.
I've also started a baby boy quilt for a friend with two different Fun With Barb swap blocks.
The tutorials to make all the swap blocks are still available, see the tab at the top of the home page.
Stay Warm and Well and let me know if you visit my quiltts!

ReplyDeleteWish I could see the exhibit in person but hopefully other bloggers will share their experiences visiting your quilts. Beautiful quilts are always a joy to see!
ReplyDeleteOh I cannot wait!! Abe does look good on his birthday! I am glad you added more "slivers" to your pie!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Congratulations on having your quilts displayed in the New England Quilt Museum! I remember your gorgeous Mother's Garden quilt from Quilt Odyssey in Hershey, PA. It was fun to watch it evolve on your blog and when I finally saw it in person, it stopped me in my tracks! WOW! The "sparrow" is a wonderful tradition in your quilts. I've always loved following your progress on your blog so I'm thrilled for you to have those beautiful quilts on display for many to see in person. xxoo

ReplyDeleteOh, so wish I could see this in person, but having been there, I can envision myself walking among your wonderful quilts. Can't wait to see more of the show.
Loved your Artist's statement!
That will be a very special baby quilt!
How exciting to have your quilts on display, and especially to get the sweet comments from visitors to see them. How I wish I lived close enough to visit and see them in person. It looks like a fabulous show. Congrats to you!
ReplyDeleteBarb, your quilt exhibit looks fantastic! I really wish I could see it in person--that would be so much fun. Love the bird and tree quilts that are also at the museum. Looking forward to seeing your finished words and baby boy quilts, too!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful! I'm looking forward to my trip to the museum!
ReplyDeleteHey barb...... How amazing and wonderful it would be to see your own quilts having in a display .... Thankyou for sharing......
ReplyDeleteFabulous exhibit, well-deserved.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have your quilts on exhibit at the Maine museum. They look so lovely! (Even on my tiny screen!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing some of the quilts on display with yours. The tree appliqués are interesting. I like the one with the oak leaf behind it. I want to do a tree appliqué in a medallion that will be surrounded by Asian fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThis gives me chills! I'm so happy for you AND for NEQM... to have your beautiful, masterful, artful quilts on display! I only wish I could have seen them there in person!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful exhibit, thank you for sharing photos. I just love your quilts.
