Houston 2019, Part 3: More Quilts!
This is my final post for Houston. My photos loaded oddly and are not all nicely grouped by category and I was too short on time to arrange them properly. You will still enjoy the quilts out of order!
SAQA had an exhibit, 50 Years of Innovation. I loved that exhibit! It was filled with iconic art quilts, several of which were instrumental in bringing me into the art quilt movement. The Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento had part of Quilt National 2003 and it blew me away! I had never seen such quilts before. Several of the quilts in this exhibit I saw in person at that time. It really was a Moment for me.
Whew – what a great show! I hope you enjoyed it. I’ll be posting to Nina Marie’s Off the Wall Friday which always has a great variety of good links.
Thanks for posting all the Houston show pictures, Jenny. And especially thanks for crediting the makers. I have seen lots of pics on FB of stunning quilts from the festival but with no information about the maker. This is a form of plagiarizing and copyright infringement, in my opinion. So thanks for taking the time to honor the IDs of these quilters.
You are welcome Martha! Yes, it takes time to put the photo and the quilt together. I wish I had the time to comment on each because many of the quilts had compelling stories or items of interest.
Oh thank you! The quilts are all magnificent…including mine…hahaha. Cheers.
Yours played very well with others yet stood out. You should be proud!
OMG thank you for posting. What a treat. I know it took a lot of time to do that.
You’re welcome Martha! I do enjoy sharing the bounty. Not everyone gets to go.
One of my favorite exhibits was the SAQA retrospective!! I had seen so many of those quilts in magazines in the past (and some in person, too!) All of them were in pristine condition and it was so exciting to see all of them together in that wonderful exhibit.
I agree – I LOVED that exhibit and I too saw many of them in their initial run. I saw in one room the influence those that went before me.
Add my gratitude to the rest, thanks for taking the time.
You’re welcome! I appreciate your comment.
Thank you for sharing these, they are amazing!
You’re welcome Peggy. If you haven’t already, I hope you get a chance to go yourself sometime – it is an amazing experience.
So wonderful to be able to virtually experience the wonderful quilts for those of us unable to attend the show in person. Your blog is so interesting always! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your quilting adventures with us!
You’re welcome Val! I am thankful that you read and enjoy it.
I just noticed my quilt Missouri Barn in this post – thanks for getting the photo and so correctly crediting me. It’s so nice to be appreciated!
I loved that quilt LeAnn! Bravo for getting it into Houston. I always try to credit the maker.
