The show was stunning. Lots of very unique and creative quilts. Lots of color too!

I was a little disappointed in some aspects of the show and wonder if anyone else had the same complaints. If it weren't for the speaker (Marsha McCloskey, who was excellent) I don't think the show would be worth the $10 admission.
These are my complaints - I can be pretty picky! I wouldn't complain about these things if it were a guild's show, but I think the Oregon Gardens should be able to do better.
(1) the name of the quilter and pattern designer were not displayed with the quilt (but they were in the printed brochure);
(2) all those signs saying no flash photography - my pictures did not come out very good because of that, and yet I've been told that flashes do not harm the quilts;
(3) poor lighting, especially when light from the skylights hit the quilts (and that has to be far worse than flash photography);
(4) quilt racks hung very closely together, which contributes to the poor lighting but does get more quilts into what is essentially a small show.

Here is the picture that was taken of the 4 of us that got to see the most of each other. Sorry we didn't get to see all of you!
We did get to see 2Doods and her mom and a friend as well as Dunster.
