I was so happy to be able to see the most amazing once in a lifetime exhibit of Joanna Rose’s 651 Red and White quilt collection at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City in March of 2011
This Exhibit is a love story between Joanna and her husband
And between the couple and the city of New York
And it is a love story to quilters.
This is Joanna Rose, isn’t she beutiful? Donna DeSoto sent me this photo that Jane Brown took.
Time to add this to your collection, buy your copy here, you won’t regret it.
************************************
It is the most moving quilt exhibit I’ve ever seen
I have this strong connection to the quilters that came before me
They made quilts… I make quilts
And I feel we both did it for the pure joy of making, and I think many of these quilts express that joy.
This blog is my gift to you. A place to list all the red and white love we can find.
Each photographer and blogger has their spin, and I want to see it ALL!
