I saw two great quilt shows in the San Francisco area recently
featuring my favorite kind of quirky quilts!
The first was an exhibit curated by Roderick Kiracofe
This was the entry, all sweet old quilt tops hung on clothespins.
Here are some of my favorites quilts, many are from Roderick's collection.
You'll recognize some of them from his wonderful book,
It was thrilling to see them up close!
Dots and stripes!
All made of hat bands.
This one was particularly intriguing.
All the pieces were sewn on only three sides!
Hmm, little pockets?
He also incorporated some newer quilts.

I got to visit with Roderick and have him sign my book!
If you'd like a signed copy, you can purchase it here.
The next exhibit featured quilts from Eli Leon's collection
at the Oakland Museum of California.
Here are a few highlights.
