IPS National Exhibition 2016 "Evolution"

Another trip to Limerick in one month, another quilt show at the beautiful gallery space of the Limerick School of Art and Design (read about the first one here). This time my husband went with me on a romantic bus ride as the kids were looked after by their aunt and uncle)).

My quilt "Fallen by the Wayside" was there, so an obligatory "artist with quilt" picture was duly taken:

I have written about it and included some close-ups in this post. My birdies were well received and even made it onto the catalogue cover:

I struggled with my camera settings, so not all the photos of the quilts I liked were good quality, but here are at least some of them:

"In the Beginning" by Mary Maguire and "Woods" by Tomomi McElvee

"Fish Evolution" by Irene MacWilliam

"Same but Different" by Ruth Bourke

"Celebrating the Big Bang" by Rita Whelan

"Kerry Dance" by Marie Hooper

"Starburst" by Louise Mullane

The gallery also housed an exhibition of mini quilts on the theme "Distance" by artists from Ireland, Austria and Latvia, which we also enjoyed. Unfortunately, there was no catalogue and I didn't include the quilt and artist's names with some of the photos.

We then went to Limerick Quilt Center to do some fabric shopping (did I mention it was my birthday? no present like fabric shopping)))

You can tell I'm getting ready for Halloween.

We strolled a bit around the city center, saw a sewing and knitting supplies shop with my name on it, had some coffee with very nice cakes and went back home.
