More on the Ruth B. McDowell exhibit at VAM 01-19-20

I was back at Visions Art Museum this morning for a presentation on critiquing art quilts given by Sandra Sider.  Afterward I took a few general pictures in the gallery, but will have to go back when there are not many people around to take a full set of every quilt.  Meanwhile.....

Right at the entrance is Amaryllis (2014  39.5"L x 43"W
which the museum people chose as the featured picture for advertising.

Thank you for bringing my memory almost up to date. I can remember how much I loved seeing Conversation on the Porch! Very special. So, so many wonderful quilts Ruth has designed, collected and used fabulous fabrics -- yes, she is a true master. Thanks again.
