Quilting Bee (New York Cares X Hudson Guild): 2007

6/21/07

Opening Night!

To all who made it to the opening, it was great seeing you. For those who couldn't, no worries, the quilts will be hanging in the gallery until July 27th.

Below are a few photos from the evening (wish I had taken a lot more, I get too easily distracted to be entrusted with such a task)...

The mini cupcakes were a hit, so much so that all 75 were gone in a flash!?!

All 12 completed quilts hanging. Below each are the concept sketches.

Fearless volunteers: Masha, Kat, Aerlia, Vanessa, Rachel, Wanda

Justin poses underneath his quilt.

Stephanie poses below her's (one of our youngest quilting "bees").

Sumin poses below her's.

Aerlia poses next Mahogany's unique design.

The Quilting Bee shared the gallery space with art work from Hudson Guild's partnership with the Rubin Museum of Art. Above is a sample of the amazingly colorful and vibrant work displayed.
