One of the sweetest exhibits at the International Quilt Festival was called “Reading & Remembrance — A Tribute to Barbara Bush”.
The first quilt in this exhibition was PERFECT to represent Barbara Bush…..
….complete with a blue dress and pearls!
The maker of this quilt said this…..
The quilts in the exhibit reminded me of books old and new…..
This quilt made me check out the book and my grandson may find it under the tree this year.
It is always a perk to see the quilt maker standing proudly by her quilt….
This quilt was a gift to the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation.
Lois says that this quilt expresses the mystery that can be unlocked by literature.
As expected, there were numerous quilts from the Harry Potter genre….
In her artist statement, Karen notes that the Harry Potter series has encouraged more individuals to read than any other series. I was thinking the exact same thing!
I appreciated the hexagon ceiling….
This wasn’t a large exhibit, but it was poignant in its own way…..
…and a wonderful tribute to a great lady!
