Durand Quilt Show

Saturday, Cindy and I went to the 10th Annual Durand Quilt show.  It was a small show but it had many very nice quilts. In addition to the quilts at the Methodist Church, there was also a display of antique quilts at the train depot. The depot itself has been restored and is very beautiful.

I really liked this applique quilt. It has that folk art flavor that would look good in wool also.

This quilt was bright and cheerful. I'm pretty sure I've seen this commercial pattern before.I have a sunflower quilt in process (UFO) that has paper pieced petals. Maybe I'll get back to it someday.

Today I went to the Turner Dodge House for the First Sunday Gallery walk. There were several amazing photographers exhibiting their works.  I particularly liked Kim Ellen Kauffman. She scans actual pieces of plants and then photoshops different layers on top of each other. Check out her work.

I also saw John Diephouse who lives in our neighborhood. He has a photo of peppers that I would like to hang in my kitchen. I'll have to wait though because right now it is on display in Midland.  He has a exhibit beginning Friday in Owosso. Maybe a road trip.....
