Smithsonian Magazine! When I saw this month's cover article about quilt artist Bisa Butler, I couldn't wait . . .

I expect to post about portrait quilts that we saw in Kentucky soon, but we have been busily working with our architectural designer on floor plans, and are going to see Mark's dad for Father's Day, so am sharing these comments on color and creativity in the meantime.  While Cheri was seeing an untold number of quilts, I went about a mile to the south and spent the morning at the Paducah Railroad Museum.  One day last month I dropped Cheri off at this very large structure, which we called, alternatively, the "mushroom" and the "marshmallow." She had quilting-related activities to attend to; I decided to take a drive.  Image Source: https://dianeloomisquilts.wordpress.com
The 32,000 quilters who had attended the American Quilter's Society show in Paducah, along with the hundreds of vendors who sought our money, had mostly left town after the show closed late Saturday. I had seen an antique shop that I wanted to visit Sunday, before leaving town on Monday.  We chose to go to the National Quilt Museum the day after the American Quilt Society show in Paducah closed. Good timing!  We are heading towards North Carolina again, but won't be leaving Kentucky until tomorrow.  Pictorials are always my favorite category at shows, and possibly what I would most like to excel at.  Many people think of quilters as a small number of little old ladies. I like to dispel that misconception.  Image Source: www.TildasWorld.com
