Another 15 quilts in the exhibiton were made by Rinny herself, who sadly passsed away from cancer a year ago. Unfortunately I didn't get a copy of the program, so I can't tell you which ones are hers. The exhibition also had quilts from local quilters, and a guest quilter, Barbara Bilyard.

(edit: This quilt was one of Rinny's)
Dad came along for a look as well, and was really impressed by the works. I was speaking to one of the organisers who was telling me how the men that came to take a look all really liked it. Especially interesting since this was in the country, so a lot of the men would have been farmers!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBwosoPrsYfXuk7jg6KKndUkk6_XGxAj45nKXmlOKDNh52eg6nSTD4Y7oISyjRQRuklSHJ-ReuZez3MZQQ4XgbXBBBnDas9HGq21-CoRrC99aqGfLLPIhBV0U6kv9R_TkdL61M4nNXLRjH/s400/quilt_exhibition.jpg)

I was really inspired by the variety, and all the different techniques and fabric choices used. I didn't really know a lot about quilting, but this has made me think perhaps it is something I might like to try sometime. Just not this week...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7sITO0uJtcZy-8CEV8UsaIfWaswKLl__GdHn-SYEiElmiLn51rN4xb_0PrNpQwwqwHpFFqhupJ76-5uOhMbGjprLlH7Whh3yB5VZiKsXYDaK4ed4ShtCztWJwP0kPnLTZQsBiRDbVX8g/s400/quilt_embroid.jpg)
All in all it was a great weekend, as this and my previous post on the painting workshop can attest.
Please excuse the quality of some of the photographs, the lighting wasn't ideal.
Such a lot of work in those quilts! I admire anyone who has that amount of patience :-)
ReplyDeleteThey all look wonderfull, Quilting takes up a lot of time, and even more effort, I would love to have the paitence to make a nice big one,
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are stunning Rose - the top image outstanding! When you see work of such a high standard it forces you to rethink the perceived "divide" between art and craft doesn't it...
ReplyDeleteSome of them were so intricate, they must have taken ages!
ReplyDeleteI agree retrofemme, I think that was something that was mentioned at the exhibition, how the quiltmaking is now more of an 'art form' than a functional quiltmaking exercise.
