The Exhibition

Soooo, as I mentioned yesterday morning, our family went on an adventure to Island Quilter on Vashon Island to see the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild 2012 Exhibition. Without saying too much other than we had a delicious lunch, the exhibit was really enjoyable, it's a great quilt shop that we'd like to revisit some day, and we had a fun outing with the family, I'll leave you with some photos from the day . . .

    Oh, how I'd love to go see a show like that! My oldest daughter and I were just talking about taking a ferry. There used to be one where we live, but they built a bridge.

    Oh I am so so jealous. I would love to go to Island Quilter. Saw it in a magazine and it's definitely my kind of shop. A little too far from Colorado though.

    It's so cool that you were able to see the exhibit! My friend, Ara Jane, posted about it, since her quilt was included. It seems like it was a lovely show!
