The Philly Modern Quilting Guild presented an evening with Cherri House.  I called my quilting friend G and her cute son Ollie and we made the trek out to the event.

It was so inspiring.  Here’s a quick tour of the quilts she shared with us.  Most are in the book City Quilts.  (Alternate title for this post: A study in hair…)

Cherri’s work is so beautiful and bold!  Her story is too- I appreciated her honesty about the work she does and what inspires it.  It’s hard to pick a favorite quilt, but the geometric shapes and use of primary colors in the front designs blended with the quilting tells a story of the places in Cherri’s life.

It also felt rather poignant to view these quilts after seeing the Infinite Variety display.  As well, G and I met up again the next day to view the Capucci exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum or Art!  I don’t have pictures of the event (they weren’t allowed) but there are great shots here.

So many solids in a short amount of time have my creative brain reeling!  The pleating, the color, the geometric design!  It’s given me some fodder for my next quilt top!
