‘Practice Bomber Range in the Mississippi Flyway,’ Terese Agnew, 1999-2002

I couldn’t find any additional information on this quilt, but both it and its title intrigued me.

*****

I don’t particularly like doing “museum galleries,” and especially back-to-back, but Washington is blessed with a large number of museums, almost all of which have free entry and superb collections (plus they’re the best indoor activity in winter!). We haven’t been to the Renwick for years; it was closed for an extensive renovation (to the point that we barely recognized it), and now it’s open again. It’s always been one of my favorite museums here with its showcasing of American craft, and I’d have to say now it’s even better than before.


Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

an artfully fashioned piece, although a tad disturbing too..
