JAV's quilts are hung in a very nice gallery setting in a quilt shop in town. They are up a flight of open stairs in a banistered loft, nicely lit with halogen spots which make their complex color fields really shine. Hanging with them are some very nice examples of Mountain quilts past. One dating from 1972 which features the words "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes Unto The Hills" Done in calligraphic letters with a little lift to the line, just as in a small church we know. All in all a lovely show, which is certain to attract the attention of the, surprisingly large, community of local quilters. Such a pleasing art form in so many ways, and such a perfect time of year to appreciate it. A good time of year to pick colors to bring into a home, which we also did. Thanks for that JAV.
