Coming to a show near you!
Wow… this is fun: I am shipping out FOUR quilts to various shows and exhibits today! The first one to go on display is Conversations 1, at the big AQS show in Paducah! Then two are going off to be in the Traditional Treasures special exhibit for the International Quilt Festivals in Chicago and (in fall) Houston, and then the pug-love is headed off to a round of exhibits with Mary Wilson Kerr’s Dare to Dance exhibit!
Next on the exhibit trail is Mr. Wiggles Does the Circle Dance. This portrait of Pigwidgeon’s joy when getting his supper is in Mary Wilson Kerr’s soon-to-be-available book and exhibit “Dare to Dance: An Artist’s Interpretation of Joy.” You can read more about the exhibit and where it is going here. This quilt is going to log a LOT of miles, starting in West Virginia, heading to MANY Sew Expo’s, MANY Mancuso shows and will return home after (get this!) two and half years on the road! Wave hullo to our beloved pug when you see him!
Then, to my utter astonishment and complete delight, I have TWO quilts that made it into a **traditional** exhibit at International Quilt Festival, the Traditional Treasures that will debut in Chicago in June and return again in Houston. This is the first time I’ve had traditional quilts juried in to a major national show, and I am elated!
And my Hawaiian inspired quilt, Nourish the Body, Nourish the Soul, will also be in IQF’s Traditional Treasures. There are apparently only 25 quilts in this exhibit, so I am totally gobsmacked and humbled to have two quilts included. Nourish is 64 inches square, is available as a pattern, and is the basis of my Hawaiian Applique by Machine class:
Have lots of things to share, but am so busy I don’t have much time to blog! Will try to post again in a couple of days!
