Good news. Yesterday, a friend and I drove to the Mancuso show in Schaumburg, Illinois. I enjoyed the international quilts and the special exhibits, especially Alzheimer's: Forgetting Piece by Piece, curated by Ami Simms, and the quilts from PAQA's Water Challenge.
Bad news. My friend showed up early to pick me up ... just when I was about to switch to a smaller bag and pack it. I ditched the plan to switch bags and just grabbed my camera on my way out the door. I forgot to grab the battery from the charger. We even took a break from the show to ride the trolley to the mall to pick one up at Circuit City, but no luck. So I have no photos to share.

Well, boo hoo. But I'm so glad you saw the Alzheimer's exhibit. It took my breath--or, rather, my speech--away when I saw it here in Nashville.
The Alzheimer quilts were powerful. About half-way home, a Porsche zipped in and out of traffic and it reminded me of the quilt Georgia Bonesteel made. I mentioned it to my friend. We talked about the quilts a bit and people we have known who were afflicted by this horrible disease ... we both became very serious and very quiet. Yes, they were very powerful quilts.
