this one uses many techniques for motif from paint to chenille
drawings
a boy in a barrel

I got pictures of those that interested me the most
sharon boggins has some lovely close ups of these two quilts on her blog

Wow, lucky you to see this all up close. Very excited today - we have a new member of our sane quilters group and she wants to learn how to crazy quilt. Even better, she only lives maybe 10 miles or so from me. Tomorrow I'm taking some of my work in for her to look at and a block that I'm not going to use so she can get started.
ReplyDeleteOne of the only reasons I regret moving to the east coast, is this museum...such a great place! Thanks for the pictures.
