Pat Sloan - Infinite Variety: Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts

 

Red quiltexhibit

I was so happy to be able to see the most amazing

once in a lifetime exhibit of Joanna Rose's 651

Red and White quilts at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City....

This Exhibit is a love story

Between Joanna and her husband

Between the couple and the city of New York

And it is a love story to quilters.

This is Joanna Rose, isn't she beutiful? Donna DeSoto sent me this photo that Jane Brown took.

************************************

It is the most moving quilt exhibit I've ever seen

I have this strong connection to the quilters that came before me

They made quilts... I make quilts

And I feel we both did it for the pure joy of making, and I think many of these quilts express that joy.

This blog is my gift to you. A place to list all the red and white love we can find.

Each photographer and blogger has their spin, and I want to see it ALL!

So please leave me a comment when you find a new  place the exhibit is mentioned.
