IQA Happy Dance!

Woooohooo!  (and OMG…two posts in one day?)  Doing the Snoopy Dance (despite the dank humidity and clammy temps here in usually balmy Maine):  Cookie?  PLEEEZE Cookie!, my portrait of our pug Pigwidgeon, got juried into the World of Beauty contest that is the heart of the IQA Quilt Festival in Houston this fall! (Click on picture for much larger view.)

In addition to this sweet pug mug, I’ll have the portrait of my son Joshua in the Beneath the Surface exhibit (thanks to MistyFuse our sponsor!), and two quilts in the special exhibit showing  quilts from Lark Books’ popular 5oo Art Quilts book.  WOOT!  Tippety tap, tippety tap…sounds like more celebrating…break out the ice cream!

    Oh I am so happy, no one has breathed a word on quiltart chats… I got rejected, but they let me know by email on the day they said they would so I was so happy about that.

    Congrats!!!!

    I hope you’ll let me wear the “I’m President of the Sarah Ann Smith Fan Club, PA Chapter” ribbon in Houston (I’ll even wear it in Knoxville if you’ll let me).
