Old Forge - Oh My!

Looking out over the Middle Branch of the Moose River in Old Forge.




While hanging our show, we had the wonderful opportunity to not only do a little sightseeing in the area, but also to see the Northeast Quilt Show which was opening yesterday and goes through the first week in November. I was very impressed with the quality of the quilts. In addition to our own RAFA show and this NE show, there was also a show of New York Studio Art Quilters Association quilts (Priscilla and Marcia were represented here) and an embroiderers guild show so there was lots to see!

More fall scenery by the Moose River







This is a view looking down onto the show as was the picture.



This was a quilt by Mary Knapp which was inspired by Escher drawings. It is called Visual Perception and contains her hand dyed and overdyed fabrics. Fabulous!

This quilt was designed by Diane J. Evans by using a technique learned in a Ricky Tims class. It is called Color My World and is just stunning in person.










There are tons more quilts in the show and I highly recommend you visit if you can. Also make sure you visit the nice little Black Bear quilt shop in Inlet NY which is just ten miles north of the show!
From the embroidery show.


This is Marcia Decamp's SAQA piece.


I will put up a Picasa album after the show is over for those of you who missed it. It will contain some of my favorites.
