Quilts on a Field Trip

NOTICE:  The exhibit has been extended through the month of March!!!  My quilts will be home after that time.  Oh! the stories they will have to tell about their stay.  :o))

Eight of my quilts have gone on a field trip to the UNC Health Sciences Library.  They were displayed there ALL of December and ALL of January and will hang there about half of February, too.  This means that their field trip is drawing to a close.

If YOU are in the area of UNC Chapel Hill, please stop by for a visit!

Why so late with the post??

Well, I really wanted to add pictures of the travelers.  However, the photos that I took right before the quilts left for UNC were taken on the camera and the camera hasn't been working with my new computer.  :o((

For more about the exhibit, please read the following notice which was prepared for the Durham Orange Quilters Guild newsletter.

DOQ Quilt Display at UNC Health Science Library
 Dec 2014 - February 2015

Dear DOQ Members:

Thank you for your generous response to a request for a Quilt Display at the UNC Health Science Library located at 335 S. Columbia Street, Chapel Hill, NC. Almost 45 quilts were submitted with the small ones (12" ) to be hung in groups of 6.  If you would like to see the quilts on display the building is open during the week generally from 8:00am - 5:00 pm (http://hours.lib.unc.edu/#view-hsl) but check the hours before you go. There is also a small cafe there which you might enjoy.

The Health Sciences Library (HSL) is the primary library for the Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, and UNC Hospitals, and also serves all of UNC and the general public. The library provides access to a comprehensive collection of health sciences journals and books. The building has open study space, 20 small group study rooms, 2 teaching labs, a collaboration center, two well-equipped public conference rooms, and a coffee shop.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this show:
