Quilt National

From Ellen Lindner

I'm just back from a SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) conference, in Athens, OH. As part of the fun, I got to attend the opening of Quilt National. Wow! The quilts were amazing: VERY innovative, and (mostly) beautiful.

My roommate for the conference was Anna Hergert, from Canada. She was absolutely delightful AND, she had a quilt in the show! Here she is with her quilt, which is 3D.
The diagonal panels create large rolls in the front. I think you can tell in the detail shot, below.

I am so envious. I want to go to Quit National some day. Must be very inspirational---and great to commune with other artists! I love the colors in this quilt---especially that blue on the underside. It is radiant.
