a retrospective

visited BAMPFA this past Sunday for Rosie Lee Tompkins: A Retrospective. keeping my photos from the exhibit here for reference and inspiration.

quilts were bequeathed from the estate of collector Eli Leon. i’ve crossed paths with Mr. Leon’s legacy several times in the years before i started earnestly quilting myself and many times since.

endless gratitude to Effie Mae Howard and Eli Leon; and quilters Irene Bankhead, Willia Ette Graham, and Johnnie Wade – thank you.
