I went to the de Young Museum, Sunday. It was great- no crowds of people, no traffic, and lots of parking spaces. There are some quilts there that the museum has purchased from Gee’s Bend quilters and from a local African American quilter. I had a great time at the museum with my husband and daughters, although I was the only one interested in the quilts. Here are some photos:
Its hard to to pick a favorite, they each have lovely details.
The third quilt is by Rosie Lee Tompkins, a quilter whom Eli Leon wrote about.
Must have been a wonderful afternoon! I haven’t made it to the De Young yet. On my list… : )
