RAFA Trunk Show at Schweinfurth Art Gallery

Last Sunday I attended the RAFA (Rochester Area Fiber Artists) Trunk Show at the Schweinfurth Art Gallery in Auburn. The Art Quilts Art Quilt Show was on display in the main gallery. I was happy to see Genie Barnes wearing the Butterfly Jacket she started a few days ago at Marcia's Studio. Here she is chatting on the main gallery with Sally Dutko.

Upstairs at the Trunk Show Pat Pauly introduces the five presentors.

Marcia DeCamp's Trunk Show at Schweinfurth

A large group braved the snow today to see the annual quilt show and attend Marcia DeCamp's Trunk Show. I am not going to make too many comments other than it was a great show and you will probably be able to see more information on her blog...www.decampstudio.blogspot.com. I was too busy taking photos to take notes. Here Marcia on the right is being introduced. Two of her grandmother's quilts.

One of the first classes she took.

The beginning of her Jet Trails series. Two of her Jet Trails quilts are in the Schweinfurth Show.

The last quilt. From a class with Cynthia Corbin.
