Wish I could have been there . . .


a very special quilt show happened last week . . .

650 American Quilts - all in red and white . . .
on loan from a single collector - Joanna S. Rose!!

Infinite Variety:  Three centuries of Red and White Quilts


The exhibition took place at the . . . Park Avenue Armory in New York . . .
for one very short week . . . March 25th to March 30th . . .


Had I known . . . I would have been there . . . I would have been on a plane . . .
and not just because I love red . . . and not just because I love old quilts . . .


but because the whole idea of it's presentation truly intrigued me . . .

it looked breathtaking . . . incredible . . .
something that will most likely not happen again . . .



And yes . . . I am totally seeing that red cross quilt above - LOVE it!!!
