Altogether, approximately 138 people came in to enjoy the 98 quilts we had on display in the Museum today.
Squeezing that many quilts and quilted items in around teh exhibits, and still leaving enough of the Museum showing to satisfy the people who come in to see the Museum rather than the quilts (it does happen), is not easy. It leads to some rather interesting displays, like this one:
where the nurse is preparing an animal-print quilt for surgery. But sometimes we get very cool things happening, like this:
I love how the shape of the central part of this quilt echoes the shape of the Ktunaxa canoe, when viewed from above, on display behind it. I'd like to say we did that on purpose, but to be honest, it just kind of happened that way.
As always, the Quilts for Kids ladies were busy buzzing away in the Beehive (aka the Carr Building) with coffee and goodies and quilts in progress for sick and deserving children. They had a whole row of quilts on display, which will be soon sent off to one of the children's hospitals - Ronald McDonald House, I think:
I think this is my personal favourite of all the quilts we had on display this year:
