There were vintage World War II quilts from a private collection and so many other quilts that were enter into the show. The "Things With Wings Quilt Show" was just great...thanks Jackie. See Jackie's post for more pictures.
Here are the World War II quilts...
This is me on the left with Sue Reich, the owner of all the vintage WWII quilts and the author of so many wonderful books. I bought one that day.
Here she is signing it for me!!

There were so many beautiful quilts, but these are just a few of my favorites...
This was MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE...oh my gosh, to die for!!
Here's a little glimpse of the Air Museum...it's huge

A great collection of quilts. They gave me some inspiration for more Quilts of Valor.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd known about this show-- my Mom's a quilter, and I live right near Hartford, CT. Would have loved to have met you in person!
ReplyDeleteAmazing - wish I could have gone with you. History and quilts and airplanes - if they served wine it would be heaven ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favourites were the Victory Quilt and that amazing handpieced hexie quilt. I think I need to catch the hexie bug!
Great show....what a terrific venue! And I'm loving that first red/white raffle quilt! Amazing work......I thought at first they were pieced spokes on a wheel type block, but it's actually an appliqued one-piece flower shape. Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post! Loved seeing the vintage quilts, and the modern.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy it, thanks! That Grandmother's Flower Garden is amazing--I've never seen one with the little diamond shapes in the "path". Wonderful venue indeed, so great to see those old planes.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love reading the stories behind the quilts, too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing....what a lovely collection and thank you so much for sharing it with us. My favorite is the Grandmothers Flower Garden too....I think it will always be my favorite.

ReplyDeletewhat a great exhibition! we suffered as a country too in World War II ánd we have a flag with the same colors: red white and blue. So these quilts are very appealing. Love the stitched names!
