Quilt Show at the Garden

Yesterday, I went to see  the Fine Art of Fiber exhibit at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, IL. The gardens were a lovely backdrop for this unique show.

 

I attend every year and the quilts that are featured are very different from the type of quilts I make--most are modern, bright, versatile and completely non-traditional. There are always a few traditional quilts thrown into the mix, but the fun part is seeing just how creative some of the quilters get with color and fiber.

 

 

It's a lovely venue for displaying quilts, surrounded by nature.

The show was nice and the day was beautiful. I spent more time just walking around the garden afterwards, however,  inspired by the incredible colors of nature. I took more photos and will post those in the next few days.
