I went to the PAQA-South quilt exhibit at the Page-Walker Arts and History Center in Cary yesterday, thinking that I would linger and take some photos prior to my art quilt group going out there for our November meeting. I took a few photos in the foyer of the old house, and was told by the lady at the desk that I could not take individual photos of the quilts. I could only take shots of the quilts from across the room. Well, that is the first time anyone has stopped me from taking pics at this venue.
In the display case at the entrance, there is a colorful arrangement of prayer flags made by members of PAQA-South. I must have missed the memo asking us to make these. They look great!
I found my quilt upstairs on the second floor. The room is not nearly as lovely as the downstairs parlor with the gorgeous wood floors, grand piano, and fireplace. It is just a meeting room. But I liked the quilts upstairs. Mine is the little guy at lower center.
Here is the wall at the far end of the room. The two quilts on each end are by Raleigh quilter Roxanne Lessa.
Here are some more on a different wall upstairs.
And these are on the wall opposite my quilt. My friend Roberta Morgan's quilt is the one with the faces next to the window.
It has been beautiful in Raleigh. I took my dog for a walk at Umstead State Park, which actually adjoins my neighborhood. Instead I drove to the entrance off Glenwood so we could walk around Big Lake. The leaves are just starting to change there.
We are now in the mountains, where it is quite chilly and there is a freeze warning for tonight. I started quilting an antique quilt top this afternoon. It is going well, and I should finish quilting it this weekend. Photos to come in a future post. Here is a teaser:
