Stitch Like an Egyptian




The "Stitch Like an Egyptian" exhibit in Des Moines was wonderful!  I spent hours looking at all the quilts in the exhibit.  I thought I would share a few of the many beautiful quilts shown.  I can't even pick  favorite!  Every time I thought "maybe this one" I saw another I loved!  Enjoy the mini-look at them!

I saw this exhibit in Grand Rapids. The quilts were so amazing. Did you get to see the men stitching? They work so quickly.
