Did a talk and showing of the Quilts from Africa today at a local retirement home. I enjoy the interaction that takes place as they discover the art and culture of the quilts that I bring then reflect on how the quilts from the past are also works of art mirroring the times that they were made. One lady has a quilt on her bed that her Mother made from her childhood dresses. They assured me that we would see them in June as after all this was just a taste of great things to come. I didn't take picturs as some of the ladies were shy so I am going to post a picture of one of the Tentmakers of Cairo quilts that will be coming here in June. Thankyou to two of our best supporters for coming with me to display the quilts!! Next Monday is the next trunk show.
