The New Quilt 2006

Last night I attended the opening of The New Quilt 2006 - contemporary quilt textiles exhibition presented by The Quilters' Guild of NSW Inc and Manly Art Gallery & Museum. It was one of those sublime Sydney evenings where the summer warmth envelopes you and this experience was only enhanced by viewing the diverse range of quilts on display in the generally thoughtful company of others. I particularly admired the two entries by Jan Clark Three Days and Resonance but there are more than 25 other quilts on display. In addition, there is a concurrent exhibition Time and Place featuring quilts by Pamela Fitzsimons. Highly recommended!
