Galleria d'Arte Moderna Palazzo Forti

We went to the galleria this morning to see the exhibit. Beautifully displayed in the lovely Palazzo Forti. And I will be able to show you my quilt. I'm so pleased to have been accepted into this show. I'm in wonderful company with very talented artists. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves

Via Appia Antica


This quilt is by Silvia Dell'Aere my new friend here in Italy. Her award was for Best Emotional Impact. A very beautiful piece.

Well that's it for today's photos. I will try to load more tomorrow....

We have arrived in Verona

We left Tuesday afternoon for our flight to Verona Italy. We flew to Milan and then took a bus to the train station. (1 1/2 hour bus ride) We then caught a train to Verona (another 1 1/2 hour ride) Anyway, I'm here because my quilt Via Appia Antica has been juried in to the international show. It was a exhausting trip so when we finally got to our B & B we had to take a nap. After the nap we took a walk to get the lay of the land. I found a gallery displaying some very nice quilts. What a beautiful setting for the quilts. Surrounded by many antique marble busts. Leave it to the Italian to do up with a special flare. Tomorrow I hope to go and see where my quilt is hanging. At the Galleria d'Arte Moderna Palazzo Forti. I hope they let me take pictures...
