Sabrina and I went to a wonderful quilt show last weekend - the Durham/Orange Quilt Guild's bi-annual show - held at the Historic Tobacco Warehouse District in Durham, North Carolina. It is a wonderful venue for this show as it is open and airy with a ton of natural light streaming through the large windows of the two story facility. The walls and floor are wood and stone and make a magnificient setting for the beautiful artwork.Here's a glimpse of
a few of our favorites. I did not take down the names of the quilts or the artists, (I wish I would have,) but I wanted to share them with you anyway!
Oh, and did I mention -- our friend Jeanne won a Blue Ribbon at the North Carolina State Fair for her trapunto dogwood quilt. Be sure to go and visit her at All Things Quilty and take a look - it's beautiful! We're so proud of you Jeanne!!

Well, thank you, Cathie and Sabrina!
I would love to have attended the Durham-Orange show. Having seen the Tobacco Warehouse, I can imagine it filled with beautiful quilts of all descriptions. Love the quilt with Chatham County's Belted Galloway cows.
That looks like a great show! I went to the Williamsburg show every year for about 8 years, but I haven't been in about 4 years now. I'm thinking about going this year. I miss that weekend away with my sister. Do you go to that one, too?
What a gorgeous venue for a show - I love the way the way they have hung all the quilts.
how amazing ... and I adore those little chickies!
What a beautiful venue! I'll bet you two had a great time. I especially love the scenery quilts because I can't draw. I can piece a sharp point and applique following a pattern but those scenes are ment for others.
What a great venue for a quilt show! Let me know about it next year and I'll get my Mom for a road trip!
WOO! What a trip you two had, wish I WAS with!

FINALLY back to REALITY with the pinkness behind us (well, sort of). Next round WON'T be anything like this first trip- more intimate, smaller group of people.
