I've had a lovely vacation week with quilting friends--sewing, laughing and going to quilt shows.
The Bold Expressions show of 50 African American quilts at the Bellevue Arts Museum was thrilling! The quilts are from Corinne Riley's collection, and are also featured in the book, Bold Expressions. Click on the slide show above if you'd like a partial tour through the show. I plan to return many times before the show ends on October 7.
Here's what I started with inspiration from the show.

Wow!! Go LeeAnn!! It's wonderful!! I don't think I'll be lucky enough to see the exhibition in real life so I think I'd better get the book.
LeeAnn,
The start of the new quilt is looking yummy. Wish the show travels towards east in future.
Great fun. I like this combination of colours with the checks.
What a great show and thank you for the slide show so we can enjoy them too. The inspoiration quilt looks like it fits right in with the therme, I love it!
So pleased you've had an enjoyable week. LOVE you newest quilt & very jealous you got to see Bold Expressions. They seem to be sold out of the catalogues at the Mingei on-line store. Arrgghh, I waited too long!
Love it, love it. woohoo. wow, sounds amazing a retreat with friends and a show of amazing quilts. woohoo again!
Looks like the show really got your creative juices going. Quite a marvelous piece.
Great quilts and lots of inspiration!
You were really inspired! Beautiful quilt.

Thanks for the slide. ciao ciao linda
Oh I really like this...all those checks. Oh boy and did you see all those HST quilts in the show?
I'm putting my Zigzag top together today while watching the US Open tennis.
I'm counting down the days until my Gwen retreat :0)
Happy Sewing......wonder where this one will take you?
What a neat show! Lots of inspiration there..especially like those folded triangles that remind me of Pinecones.
Are you sure you pieced that top? It looks like it came right from the show! :)
Fabulous video. I can see why you were inspired.
WOW... On all counts- great video and love your new beginning!
I recognize what inspired your newest effort. It was my favorite quilt when I saw the show back in June. Love the fabric choices you have made. They are so you.
love when inspiration grabs you like that! Looks good Nifty!
Hi, Nifty. A retreat AND a great quilt show--that would be my definition of heaven on earth. Love your inspiration/play.
