On my main blog I chatted about our trip to Paducah KY where we used to live for many years many years ago (what a sentence). I have been to the museum several times. Paducah is a small town (relative). It seems everybody knows everybody else and Meredith Schroeder is the grandma of one of the girl scouts in the troop I was a leader of. But I am happy to go to the museum again. It is always different.
Saturday July 31
Our airbnb was close and I walked over to the museum.
In the lobby I was directed to this 'quilt'. Can you believe that this is not really a quilt? It is actually a wood carving. It was amazing to stand very close to examine it. Unbelievable.
There were 4 different exhibits to admire and then there is always a section of quilts owned by the museum.
Exhibit: Stone Portraits & Sacred Stonescapes by Denise Labadie.
Many amazing pieces of fabric art.
(I think this is one of them but not so sure anymore)
You could take 100s of photos of all the beautiful things people of created, but there comes a point when you have to be selective. I limit now taking photos of quilts which give me new ideas or introduce me to a new technique, something I need to research when I am home.
Exhibit: Never Forget - Quilts from the 9/11 Memorial and Museum
Gosh, this was moving.
Exhibit: Baltimore goes Modern by Cathy Erickson
I think these are from the museum collection:
Oh yes ... so much to do, so limited time.
I am not kidding myself though. There are things I will never be able to do. - - - And that is ok too.
