The Art of Quilting Show

 This is the 9th year

for the 

Art of Quilting Show

which runs through May 31st

 at the Gilbert Arizona Museum

 My favorites were the

antique quilts on display.

As always, I love the stories

that accompany each quilt.

 Once Upon A Time

Redwork

Blocks signed in 1899

Owned by Joyce Johnson

"This charming friendship quilt appears to have been 

embroidered by several different ladies,

as several of the blocks have signatures of different handwriting."

Once owned by Martha Piper, 

a Civil War Veteran's Widow.

This story made me laugh!

"On a vacation in Kentucky with our friends,

we stopped at an Antique Store where I saw this quilt

hanging high on the wall.

I asked the clerk if he would get it down for me.

As he did, my friend said she was also interested in it.

I told her I saw it first

and the clerk agreed.

Now it's mine. "

Tomorrow I will share with you more 

quilts from the Show.
