I took a break from machine quilting to do a little blog surfing. I visited decoeuracao, a Brazilian blog. I'm not bilingual so I just look at the pictures which works for me on this blog. I found this video that seems to be made for quilters. I have no idea what they are selling but isn't this great!?

Hollis Chatelain is a friend of mine and she has done something amazing. She has gathered together 12 of her most powerful quilts and paired them with 14 black and white photographs by prominent photographers for a major exhibition called Imagine Hope. If you are going to Paducah, you'll have an opportunity to be one of the first to see this exhibit.

Please join Hollis April 20, 2010 from 3:00 to 5:00 PM to celebrate the opening of The Imagine Hope Exhibition at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky.

Our hope is that this exhibition becomes much more than a show. Hollis’ vision is that her quilts will help us not just imagine hope, but help provide it by confronting the issues and working toward solutions.

The exhibition will be shown April 9 through May 25, 2010.

For more information, please contact The National Quilt Museum.
