Exhibit opportunity at Lewis Ginter

I received this message from Richmond Quilt Guild. Please contact Sherry if you are interested.

Hi Vicki, this is not an order (although I am a great fan of your hand dyed fabrics). As current president of Richmond Quilters Guild I received a request from the lady who runs exhibitions at Lewis Ginger Botanical Gardens. They had an unexpected last minute exhibit cancellation and asked if RQG would be interested in providing quilts with a botanical, floral or garden theme to hang from the beginning of February through the end of April.

Even though Country School Quilters is no longer connected with RQG, I know that several of you create beautiful art quilts. Some of these could easily fit into the requested theme.

I remember a quilt that Margaret showed at Colonial Piecemakers Guild in Williamsburg several years ago that was almost all greens. That type of quilt would be great with the theme. Estelle immediately comes to mind as well, but I'm sure that you have other members whose quilts would be a great addition.

Do you think that your group would be interested? It will definitely be a rush to collect and deliver quilts but I think that the venue makes it well worth the effort and I'll be glad to coordinate picking up quilts for your interested members.

You can reach me at sherry.whitford@gmail.com or 757-880-6784 (c) or 757-566-1928 (h). Or you might wish to forward this to your group's president. I sent an email to the chapter presidents of RQG with the idea that they would better know who in their chapter might have quilts that would be appropriate.

Thanks,
Sherry
