I made plans to go see the quilt show at the Skirball museum. This show originated at the Fine Arts museum in Boston. I’m sure, what came here is just a fraction of that show. My friend got sick – so I went on my own. Yes, I’m going back with my friend next week – it is wonderful.
In the entry hall there was a local show, this is what it looks like when the Skirball puts on a quilt show. very very meh. I shouldn’t complain, they grabbed items from local creators. It is fine for a pre show. And yes, in the parlance of today, everyone must be included. I should be grateful that they remembered to include some Jews – since these days, even a Jewish institution doesn’t necessarily do that.
Here we see, a quilt, a beautiful crochet blanket, I would have loved to see it open, incredible crochet work, and a knit blanket. All provide warmth.
Another crochet blanket, this one a very large granny square. I admit, that if you are going to make a blanket out of yarn, crochet is much easier than knitting. Sure it probably takes up more yarn but it goes much faster.
This is a form of circular granny square. I like it a lot, especially the grey background.
Love the houses, love the fabrics. Just love this simple quilt, it is a wall hanging, not one to cuddle with, although, it could be a baby quilt. Yes, when it comes to quilts and blankets, their function is just as important as what they look like. this one is a lovely wall hanging.
I’m cringing at how they hung this…. really those big office clamps??? Otherwise, a really nice Hexi quilt. I am assuming that it is paper pieced. Love the flow of colors.
A look at the row of quilts and blankets. Very nice. A good entry to the main show – which is amazing.
