2007 - People @ Quilt Nat'l '07 05-23-09

This is another look back at Quilt National 2007 and some of the people I saw there. I've always thought that conferences are ultimately about the people who attend and mingle. I met so many very nice people either making or interested in art quilts, but these are the pictures that are 'presentable'. One thing I learned in '07 is how important it is to take pictures of the artists with their quilts.

I didn't see the dairy barn when it was a dairy barn and I admit I have never been in such a place before. Now it is a wonderful, expansive space to hang quilts, they made a great choice. I include this picture to show how it looks with quilts hanging. Left to Right: the red quilt in the center is "Red Wave", "Robo Sapien: Agent 1" by Kathy Weaver, "Are We Safer Now?" by Judith Plotner.

Friends from Coronado, CA., Kathleen McCabe and her husband. Kathleen has a quilt in Quilt National '09 which I looked forward to seeing at the opening this year - maybe I will have a chance to see it in one of the traveling sections. in the next two years. The quilt on the right is "Dun Aengus Stone Fort" by Denise Labadie - 63"W x 71"L. On the far left is "Brush" by Mary Beth Frezon - 48"W x 28"L.
