While recently taping new episodes for The Quilt Show, we came across this wonderful exhibit, Northern California Inspirations by the Studio Art Quilt Associates Northern CA/NV Region.

The exhibit reflects the visions of twenty Northern California textile artists as they interpret the physical and the ephemeral, the massive and the miniscule, through the medium of the art quilt.  The diverse, visually rich region of Northern California where they live influences and inspires their art.
