Everyone knows that Ricky DOES music and his life as a musician has blended perfectly with his quilting career. In addition to offering spectacular exhibitions of art quilts, the Tims Art Quilt Studio and Gallery in La Veta, Colorado (home of The Quilt Show) offers musical concerts most Sunday afternoons throughout the summer. This year is the second season for the Gallery Concert Series that features a variety of music from classical to New Age to bluegrass. Yesterday a group called Fireweed, a bluegrass band from Pueblo, Colorado, delivered a fun-filled concert with plenty of pickin' and grinnin'.

This concert was a perfect match for the quilts that went up on Friday. The new gallery show is called Oklahoma Holdups and features a solo show by Carol Ann Sinnreich of Lawton, Oklahoma. Much of Carol's work represents subjects of the great American west. She also has a few traditional patchwork and applique quilts and quilts with a botanical theme. The entire collection demonstrates her unique humor and original artistic flair.

On the short video provided with this blog, Carol tells about two of her most significant quilts. The music is Fireweed, the bluegrass band.
