Hopes and Dreams Fulfilled, 42 x 42 inches, by O.V. Brantley, 2009. For sale at http://www.ovbrant.etsy.com

Yesterday, as a result of a booking for my trunk show A Life of Quilts from Meisha Card of Threshing Floor Academy, I spent a delightful day sharing India’s quilts with children who attend Bolton Academy. India joined me to add life to the presentation, and that was pretty  cool too.

The kids, who ranged in age from kindergarten to sixth grade,  were unbelievably attentive and engaged. They asked intelligent questions and seemed to really enjoy the quilts.

I left feeling very happy for the parents of those kids because I know they will more than fulfill the hopes and dreams of their parents.
