All of the quilts and coverlets have been hung! All the labels are printed. I have to hang the panels, add a few object labels and that's IT!
The FREE exhibit opening will be this Friday night from 6:00 to 8:00. The exhibit turned out great -- I'm excited to share it with all of you!!

Quilt exhibit progress
Here are some photos of the installation in progress...
We were able to plan out where each quilt will go today, which is a huge achivement by itself!
I laid out the quilts that will be hung from the ceiling in the center of the gallery so I could measure each length. They are folded in half to save a little space. I laid them out on clean sheets to protect them from any dirt that might be on the floor from moving out the dollhouses and their cases.
We are in good shape!

Quilt installation this week!
OK, so normally I would have had an exhibit that opens on Friday night almost finished by now.
However, it is difficult to coordinate the schedule of several dollhouse owners, so it took awhile to get all of the houses returned to their homes!
The Keller Gallery is now ready to install quilts!
The installation should go rather quickly, since there was a lot of advanced prep work -- sewing sleeves, cutting rods to size, pre-cutting the hanging wires, etc. So over the next few days, we just have to hang them.
I'm excited to open this exhibit, and I know you're going to love it!!!

Dollhouse exhibit is closed :-(
It has been a lot of fun, and it certainly has been popular!
But we can't leave the same exhibit up forever...
There are only a few dollhouses left in the Keller Gallery. They will be picked up in the coming days to make room for the quilts.
Thank you to everyone who came to see the exhibit!
And thank you to all the people who loaned their wonderful houses for the show. I am planning another one for October 2012. If you have a dollhouse you'd like to loan, let me know and I'll send you an application!
I'm excited about the exhibits coming up in the Keller Gallery, but it is sad to say goodbye to such a fun exhibit!

Snow!
This is the scene in the garden through the Library windows:
It is our octagonal picnic table, which now resembles a wedding cake!

Peanuts...Naturally
I just booked Peanuts...Naturally, an exciting new traveling exhibition from the Charles M. Shultz Museum for May - August 2014!
Click here to learn more about the exhibit (you will have to click on "Exhibitions" and then "Traveling Exhibibition Rentals"). We will be hosting the smaller version, because the larger version is too big for the Keller Gallery.
The exhibit uses Peanuts comics to explore environmental themes, including The Universe, The Elements, Trees Glorious Trees, Charlie Brown and the EPA, and How Does Your Garden Grow?
There will be lots of opportunities for science camps, workshops and classes that summer! And I think our summer tourists and visitors will really enjoy it.
So add that to the Keller Gallery plans!
