Parks Quilts in Berryville

Saturday was a good day.  Sue was able to make a trip out to Berryville, VA, to visit the "Inspired by the National Parks" exhibit which is there until November 25. 

Of course this is not the first time she has seen the exhibit; it has previously been at the Quilters Unlimited show in Northern VA, and also at the Virginia Quilt Museum.  And we've shared them in previous blog posts.  But it's always fun to see the same show in different venues.  This venue, The Barns at Rose Hill, is a wonderful space. 

The rustic interior of this re-purposed barn is a fitting backdrop for these nature inspired quilts.

Some of the quilts are hung in their park grouping of larger quilt of the park with the 2 smaller quilts of flora and fauna.  Others are hung separately due to the venue and method of display.

Above you can see the portable display units that are used for most of the flora and fauna quilts.

The larger park quilts are displayed on the walls.  In the downstairs portion of the building, the walls are white as seen here.

The upstairs portion of the barn has a large meeting room where many of the quilts are hung against the backdrop of the wood paneled walls.

Sue's quilt is the center one of this panel - Scarlet Globemallow from Mesa Verde National Park.

These three are some other favorites, especially the singing vole.

This Rocky Mountain landscape is also a favorite.

If you have the opportunity and want to take a road trip, ride out to Berryville to the Barns of Rose Hill, located between the government center and library, next to the park in the "downtown" area, just off route 7 east.  It's a great way to spend an afternoon. They are open Tuesday through Saturday from 12 - 3 PM, admission is free.
