Dear Liza,
On Friday, Auntie Bridgett and I went up to the Portland Expo Center to see the Annual Quilt show put on by the Northwest Quilters Inc..
The weather was warm and sunny, so we took transit.
The number 75 took us north and through a lot of neighborhoods we had never seen before. It then headed west through the Kenton neighborhood and past the Paul Bunyun Statue. After about 30 minutes it let us off at the Yellow Train Line station on Lombard Street, and we caught the train to the Expo.
The Quilt show was an amazing combination of the art and craft of quilting and the business of selling sewing machines, quilting supplies, and sewing kits.
I was very impressed not with just the skill and care shown in piecing the quilts, but with the originality in techniques and subjects.
There was even a wonderful, small, old, Crazy Quilt, which was the one piece I would have brought home if I could.
I will tell you about the rest of the adventure tomorrow!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
