I got one photo to come thru so far! This photo Linz83 posted already and is a much better photo but I wanted to reference to it. This group of quilts was from a book club in Portland, OR. It is called, Cover to Cover Book Club Quilters. They all read the same book, in this case it was 'Alice in Wonderland' and then interpret the book through a quilt. What a unique quilt/book club, right?! I spoke with the 'Lovely Miss Mad Hatter' for a few moments. The quilt she is standing in front of was her quilt. So many people were so enamored with this entire display of quilts. Perhaps one of our members here is a part of this group and could explain further.... but I believe their goal is to stretch as a quilter. This lovely lady explained she had never before done an 'art quilt' and was scared to try. I think she succeeded quite well!! As I mentioned before I will add to Linz83's photo repertoire.

Awesome quilts. I really liked the running horses, among others! Thank you for the show.

They are all gorgeous, but my favorite is the fourth one. The green and pink one. I actually gasped when I saw it. I love that one.
