In June of 2008 the three groups met to put all the quilts together for the first time. It was an exciting time for all of us. Little did we know when we first hung these that a year later they would be going on tour. For the quilt show vendors it was imperative that we prehang the quilts on a background so that they would be easier for the shows to hang them. These quilts undulate due to the river going in and out of the quilted piece at various points. This makes for a complicated hanging. TheThread Heads took on the job of hanging each quilt on an individual black background. This was no small feat. Marge Edie of Bargello fame, is also a mathematician. Without her many hours of thought and work this would have been a much more difficult job.
I just saw this exhibit for the first time, at the Nashville TN AQS show. It is absolutely wonderful! Is there anywhere on line that the entire exhibit is pictured?
