Fiber Fair in San Francisco

I don't have the proper name for this event, forgive me on that. It was vendor after vendor of rich textiles, crafted beauties, vintage clothes, millinery, jewelry, and ethnic textile. The museum quality quilts offered at Julie Silber's table had this as the backdrop. A show stopper for my Saturday starter.
 

Applique Stunner

I know it's unusual to post TWO photos, but this applique quilt top from Julie Silber's collection is so amazing and fascinating that I had to. It was part of the webinar that Joe Cunningham had (with me as guest) where he and Julie talk about the work (juliesilberantiquequiltstore.com). Fun to see in person!
 

Meet Julie Silber

Part of the quilt extravatanza for this summer's at the Cahoon Museum of Art is an exhibit of Julie Silber's collection of old and new quilts. The works are a delight, always hold a great story, and have a soul. Like Julie herself, I might add. It was great to spend time with Julie, go visit this summer in Cotuit, Mass.
 

The Stuff Inside

All the outside wrapped, I checked out the inside of the Cahoon Museum and Joe Cunningham's solo exhibit. It's a powerhouse of piecing, and a heavy dose of current events. If you find yourself on Cape Cod this summer, stop and see it up close. And there is Julie Silber's exhibit of 200 years of quilts there too.
