One of the awesome things we had planned in advance was to go to the Quilts 1700-2010 Exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
That's right, a whole special exhibit on quilts. While we were there. Magic, right?
Of course, no photography was allowed in the show, so I can't give you an accurate portrayal of what is was like.
But. The walls?
They were pink. PINK!
And surprisingly, it was rather dimly and moodily lit, which was kinda neat.
In the museum shop, there was this great big book of the exhibited works, but it was a.) too expensive and b.) too heavy to cart around so I didn't get it.
I got the postcard set instead. They are snack-sized.
Also, I got some, well, what else? Fabric!
I didn't realize until after I bout it that it's by Liberty!
They also had all sorts of other cool quilty merchandise like this awesome wrapping paper:
And this mug that is based on an awesome applique quilt:
SO frigging cuuuute!
