IQS

Four of us attended the International Quilt Show in Chicago over the long weekend! This quilt particularly caught my eye. It was entirely hand-pieced and quilted. The colors were incredible---this picture doesn't do justice to either the colors or the needlework. There were hundreds of beautiful quilts and many vendors from all over the world. We met the friend of a friend, attending the show from Japan. Although the show was held in Rosemont, we took the time Saturday night to go downtown for dinner in the Hancock Building. The wind was howling and biting, precipitation that could have been very cold thick rain or snow was pelting down, and we were dressed for spring! But we had a great time!
