Every year the Chicago Botanic Garden near me hosts The Fine Art of Fiber, a quilt show put on through the cooperation of Illinois Quilters, Inc., North Suburban NeedleArts Guild, and the Weavers Guild of the North Shore. I attended the show yesterday and although most of the quilts in the exhibit were not exactly traditional quilts that are my favorite kind, all were stunning and creative. I thought you might enjoy a peek -
It was a beautiful, clear day - the Botanic Garden itself is a work of art in the fall.
I did not know that Bonsai trees also changed color in the fall.

No room for all of the quilts so here are some of my favorites:
Bubbles by Mary Meyers
Spring Garden by Jeanette E. Gerber
Rising Sun 1837 by Palmer Blakely
Bed turning - don't know who made this one but don't you love it??
Salsa with Lime by Joan Bratton
Artsy Applique by Sabrina Cassidy

Your post is beautiful. I love those quilts and the garden photos. You must have a good camera
to catch the birds flying so very sharp. Oh, probably it is a sculpture.....
The quilts are lovely, and the colors in the garden are a knockout. Too bad my part of Texas goes from green to yellow to brown, all pretty quick.
Beautiful picture of you Kathy.
Such beautiful quilts and the scenery is stunning. I always did love a stroll around the Botanical Gardens and fall is a wonderful time to go!
Thankyou for sharing the beautiful quilts and scenery!!! Looks like it was well worth the visit!!!
