There was plenty of eye candy throughout the show, and all types of quilts. To me, these modern quilts really stood out as a group. Well done, VMQG!!
On behalf of the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild, thank you! It's a thrill to see photos of our quilts in the show, especially since only three of us made it down to Portland! This was our first public exhibit and we're motivated to host our own show in Vancouver now. Glad to hear you liked our exhibit!
ReplyDeleteLoved it!! What a lucky guy I am to see the first public exhibit of these quilts. No wonder they seemed so visually fresh. Kudos!!
DeleteBill thank you so much for your compliments to our guild and for the wonderful (and perfectly credited!) photos! So very nice of you.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure! Seeing such a large, cohesive group of modern quilts at the center of a such a prestigious show is a big "Wow!"
DeleteThank you so much for your posting Bill. This was my first show and it was so exciting to be able to show alongside all the other amazing guild members. I was thrilled to see that you had posted photos of two of my quilts and sent the link to your post to my mom who I'm sure will be thrilled as well. All the best, Jo-Anne.
