Thank you, dear friend, for sharing these outstanding views of the show. I think Mrs. Rose gave a gift to all of us with the display of her quilts. Great job to American Folk Art Museum :)

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!! Wonderfull Quilts and YES I do feel like I was there!

I love the way the quilts are displayed. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland or a deck of huge playing cards! Some gorginirmously beautiful quilts. Who organized the show?

Incredible. Thanks for sharing.

this was at the 65th street armory in manhattan. the drill floor was given over to the show and it was so beautifully presented. the walls and ceiling were kept dark, black almost, to showcase the quilts. the columns of quilts had spotlights from above, as you can see, and the quilts hang three - four high. every quilt is backed by another quilt.

there are a total of 650 quilts, part of a collection of over 1,000 red and white quilts that belong to one woman.

the only other color was that little bit of yellow on the one quilt in close-up. we kept getting lost and couldn't remember what we saw and didn't see. i was sorry not to see the stitching on the high ones. they are all beautiful.. they'll be there until the 30th.

the embroidered one i showed was feedsacks. there were only a very few new ones, and fewer done by machine.

so far, it doesn't look like this show will travel. brought to us by the museum of american folk art.

Thank you for sharing. I would have a hard time leaving

I would have been hyperventilating!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Those close-ups of the quilting are to die for!!
And I love your pic! :D:D

WOW! That is absolutely spectacular! I have never seen a display set up that way.

I would get lost in there. The quilts are Awesome!

i didn't know where to point the camera first. i ended up taking more than 50 pictures. :roll: :roll: we walked around for four hours and then my ds and ddil and my dsil met us there and also poked around some.

the show was free and stayed open until 7. but three leeetle salads, one coffee and one can of soda was $30.50. :roll:
