Art Bra and Quilt Gallery Exhibit

Yesterday my dear friend Jeannie and I went to Perkasie Pa to attend the opening reception of the Art Bra and Art Bra Ladies Quilt exhibit. This is the debut of the quilt and it is quite something to behold in person. People from as far as Istanbul and New Zealand, Canada, Washington State, Florida, Texas, etc contributed crazy quilt blocks. All the blocks had to have purple as the main color and hearts as the theme. The results are just breathtaking--so much to take in. The embellishments include clay heads, sequined lace butterflies, oyas from Turkey, crystals, beads, beautiful embroidery, threads and fibers, jewelry findings, lace, silk ribbon and more.
