Yesterday, I spent some time at the Fine Art of Fiber show at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Lots of pretty quilts in a beautiful (indoor) garden setting. I usually go every year but missed last year for some reason.
Two things I love: walking around outside in my favorite season and looking at some lovely quilts.
Lots of pretty, colorful quilts and lovely fall surroundings. I was disappointed that there were not many traditional quilts displayed (my style) but they were all beautiful nonetheless. This quilt below, a Lori Holt design made by Lydia Hoelle, was my favorite.
Still a few flowers blooming here and there.
It was a perfect fall day and the colors of the leaves were just beautiful.
The weather forecast originally called for rain but it turned out to be a beautiful day. If you're in the Chicago area, the Botanic Garden is always worth a trip. The show runs through Sunday, Nov. 9.

Thank you for sharing! This made me feel as though I was almost there! I liked the pink backgrounds of some of the quilts. I never would have thought of that. Why not use a nontraditional color? Even a blue or turquoise or green background for a ghost quilt?
Thank you for taking the time to share lovely quilts and fall photos. I’ve never had the thought to use pink in my quilts. Like you prefer more traditional colours
