Today was the opening day of the first annual Quiltfest Savannah. Carol wanted to attend and while I'm not much for walking around seeing vendors trying to hawk their wares, I do like the art involved in the quilts. Don't think of these as quilts for a bed. Very few of these quilts have been, or for that matter, ever will be on a bed. They are intended to be displayed as works of art. All the quilts pictured today will be smaller than 3 feet by 3 feet. Enjoy the show.
This is a closer view of the piece above. It is thread painting and I found the detail amazing and the effect stunningly beautiful.
Carol found the optical effect of this one made her a bit queasy. I found the precision and tiny piece work fascinating.
