If you are in the DC area, do stop by the Graham Collection in Brookland. The current exhibit is "Cheap Threads, Miniature Quilts and Wall Hangings (A Textile Journey)" - until December 27. In addition to handmade Christmas tree ornaments (all on sale), you'll find GORGEOUS quilts - all affordably priced from $250 to couple thousand dollars.
Featured quilters include: Tonia Mitchell (I LOVE her quilt of woman title Jewel! It's an elongated portrait of a woman. The male portait has sold), Viola Burley Leak, Bisa Butler (photo), Barbara Lynn Bechthold (see her Essence of Lynn), Betty Baines (she has one fabulous piece featuring a black woman doll on kuba cloth, leather, and copper plate - and yes, its a quilt!), Imani Whiters-Russell, Adrienne McDoanld (she has an elegant tie-stained wallhanging with an old world feel), Joanna Banks - great self-portrait wallhangings!, Shirley Taylor, and Francine Haskins.
