Textile Exhibits

Saturday was dedicated to seeing all the textile exhibits of the festival, Verona Tessile.  Thank goodness it was a gorgeous sunny day and perfect for walking around town.

There were antique quilts from the Amish community.

There were contemporary quilts from Joe Cumnningham (USA)

Joe Cunningham explaining his work.

There were traditional gems! Hand pieced and quilted from Verona.

Nice to see a young crowd interested.

Margaret Fabrizio (in her very late 80's!) exhibited her work too. She is from San Francisco.

There were some hands-on experiences.

My personal favorite was Joe Cunningham's Autoworld (2015)

People picked up a quick lunch- panino and drink- while heading to the historical buildings to see the international exhibits.

It was good to sit down and relax during dinner time. Our legs needed a rest after all that walking.

Our dinner spot in Verona's historical city centre.

The label shows the osteria's location,
right near Ponte Pietra.
It's their own production of prosecco.

I asked the group of they had any pictures of that evening and everyone sent me pictures of the food!
I guess it was good!

Here are some of the antipasto.

Some of the desserts.

Everyone is gaining weight!
