At last I have some time to put up a few pics to give all those not able to be present some idea of how it all looks and so on. I have to say how impressive the two people engaged by the embassy to hang the show were . Shelley works with the Phillips Collection and Marcus is a student as I recall. They did a terrific job and many people commented on how well it all looked. I engaged a photographer Peter Cutts, to take some overall gallery shots of the show when he does some high resolution shots of several of the quilts while they hang there, so there will be possibly one or more shots to put up when I receive his work. It’s an exciting thing to see a whole lot of your work up in the one space, and extra nice to have had two chances to talk about it – firstly to the embassy staff on the afternoon of the opening, and then the following week to a group of interested quiltmakers who gathered in the gallery to get to some of the nuts and bolts stuff. I found it fascinating the questions they asked, and the interpretations a couple of them put on what I had done.

Little Me with son Ivan and DIL Tara, in front of their Wedding quilt, which is huge, very large king size. A truly modern scrap quilt, looks great on their four-poster.

Robin and Vince came a long way from, er, Uruguay/Europe/all over the USA/ just to get there on the night….and sounded as if they are en route to Hawaii…  

This piece, “Sunburnt Fragments”, as it turned out made a nice partial frame for the title wall of the show. In the background Ancient Expressions IX, one of only two of this series I have left, and further to the right is Kimberley 2, which one of the people on the floor talk insisted COULD be interpreted as dinosaur eggs …. good grief, the things people think of.

Shelley hard at work with, um, pondering something
