Mark and I went to high school with a girl from Tennessee. She had a strong drawl, which made her seem exotic. I wondered how close she lived to the rolling hills that I envisioned as the whole of her home State.  One thing I love about living in Winston-Salem is that there are always new things to discover.

Well, we haven't received any mail in 10 days, and Amazon showed up for the first time in as long just yesterday.  The reason we headed to Athens, Ohio was to see a juried exhibit of quilts by members of the international Modern Quilt Guild.  We traveled to Athens, Ohio primarily to see an exhibit of modern quilts, and I thought that I would lead with that post, but the venue seemed a better introduction.  If you've been reading our blog for a while, you know that I like to quilt in the North Carolina mountains in late September.  Mark and I got to Philadelphia Wednesday night. Once we were both out of bed - much later than Mark arose - we headed out to see a number of the city's murals.  Image Credit: Photograph by Donald D.

We were at a museum in northwest Virginia for a few days last week, and I was surprised by what drew my attention the most: a "Contemporary Embroidery" exhibit.  We are waiting to get back on the road until my feet feel a little better, so I'm sharing more from an exhibit that I saw in February and March.  The Virginia Quilt Museum has relocated to a former barn in the Silver Lake Historic District, near Harrisonburg, Virginia.   I was just expecting to do some textile-stash enhancement when I stepped into Bay Quilts in Richmond, CA last month, but turned to my right, and WOW!  We were headed out to see old friends and their newish son, and Mark asked if I wanted to stop at any quilt shops.  |
