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.
