Many of the quilts will be for sale. The idea for "Imagination Takes Wing" came from Audree DeAngeles, a member of both the Museum of Flight and CQA. "I liked the idea of having a soft, fiber show in a museum with many hard surfaces. After bringing the idea to the CQA board and getting approval, I met with the museum's Director of Exhibits, Chris Mailander. He liked the idea and that's how the show came about." The Museum of Flight is located at 9404 East Marginal Way South in Seattle. It is open seven days a week from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the first Thursday of each month from 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. Admission fees are: 4 years and under free; 5-17 years old $5; 18-64 years old $9.50; 65 and older $8.50.
