Yesterday my Red Hat group went to Klehm Arboretum. The theme this summer is Through the Branches, A Quilter's Perspective featuring the art of Claire Powers. Thought I would share a few pictures with you.

The flowers are as pretty as the quilts!

Wow! Those were some amazing applique quilts.

Lovely, thanks for sharing. I especially like the appliqued floral with what look like larks flying about.

Awesome quilts - thanks for sharing.

Those are gorgeous! Love the birds and flowers and no doubt a lot went into making these. Probably took more patience than I have.

Beautiful thank you

Those are gorgeous.

What beautiful work. Loved all the flowers but really liked the one with the mama and baby Killdee birds. Or Killdeer, don't know which!

those are the cutest little pink birds I have ever seen quilted. I am going to try and make some of them for the quilt I am making for my newest great grand daughter. lovely.

What a perfect combination - a trip to an arboretum AND a quilt show. Those little birds are so cute.

Thank you so much for posting ;-)

Thanks for sharing. They are all so beautiful but I love the birdies.

Beautiful, beautiful work. I would like to know what the general dimensions of those quilts is. Were they all mini's? The trees and birds really intrigued me.

Sheila, thanks for the pics. I especially love the ones with the swallows, chickadees and small birds. Very beautiful. Thanks for thinking enough of us to share.

Beautiful applique!

What an amazing body of work!

Awesome!

Beautiful quilts! Thanks for sharing

Beautiful quilts,
The one with the white tree I love it but have a question, is that your reflection in the quilt or is that actually part of the quilt? I have some paintings that have ghost pictures in the background and that is what this looks like. would love to see a quilt like that if it is just a reflection.
Thanks \JeanneZ

Amazing, awesome all of the above.
