International Quilt Festival didn't disappoint. There were many lovely quilts & the workmanship was superb on most of them. A very large exhibit from SAQA was excellent. Layered and Stitched: 50 Years of Innovative Art was a retrospective with quilts from leading quilt artists. It was fabulous to see the trends and the artist statements made with signature quilts. Here's the link to the slide show.
My other favorite exhibit was Altar Offerings: Memory Quilts, Love, Loss and Honor. These were the works of students in a workshop of designer and artist Jane Tenorio-Coscarelli. Her website is here.
Here is a selection of the pieces mounted at the show.

Here is the quilt I stitched to honor my son Will Hurter (21) struck by a car & killed on Halloween night 2001 while walking to a friend's house for a party. I have my altar set up for him today.
Still missing you Sugar!
My friend Barbara and I collaborated on some wonderful Virgin Mary quilts in the mid 2000s. You can view them here at The Madonna Idea. (The links to my previous blog are inactive.)
