Exhibit: Durham-Orange Quilt Show, Durham, NC

This weekend, i attended the annual exhibition of quilts by the local Durham-Orange Quilters' Guild, held at the American Tobacco Historic District in downtown Durham, NC.

I wish i had known in advance that the show also featured free workshops on topics like sunprinting, free-motion quilting, and wool felting! As it was, i missed those, though i did get there in time to sit in on the presentation by the African American Quilt Circle, which included some displays of more of their work that wasn't hanging in the show, including a quilt made of super-cool mudcloth blocks and a great one that had tiny processions of African ladies with dimensional headwraps. Next year, i'm definitely going earlier!
