I was fortunate to attend, and participate in, the second international Argentina quilt show, entitled, Segundo Salón Internacional de Quilts, which is being held between 15 and 27 March, in the the community of Vicente López, just to the north of Buenos Aires. The venue for the show is the beautiful Romulo Raggio Museum, a truly impressive setting in its own right. The show’s coordinator, Teresita Leal, did an outstanding job of hanging the artwork and seeing that everything was in order. For such a young community of quilters, I was a truly impressed by the effort and expertise evident in the show. There were entries from Argentina, Brazil. Spain, UK, Uruguay and the United States, featuring both traditional and contemporary quilts. Below are a few examples of quilts on display at the show. There are two places where you can find pictures of the show www.buenosairesquilting.com.ar and www.pachworkycia.blogspot.com. There will be more pictures of the exhibition soon on these sites.

WordPress camp was an interesting experience. I was locked up on the 16th floor in the center of downtown Portland with a fantastic view. The lock-up was because it is a commercial building and not used on the weekends and they don’t want a bunch of geeks roaming around. So, they took us up in the morning and let us out in the evening. All food etc, was brought in. Not bad.  I learned a lot about what to do to my web site and blog, but most of it was over my head. The more  I learn the more questions I have. In the end I hope my site will look better and so will my quilts. The people were a very talented interesting group.

I will be going to this WordCamp this month. I look forward to learning more about my blog and web site. WordPress is the program that is running my web site and blog. This is a new experience. I hope it might even make my art better. Who knows what I will learn. I will pass on anything that I think is interesting.
