SAQA: People & Portraits Exhibit
I’ve mentioned before that my two quilts, Windblown and Surrender, are part of a special SAQA exhibit which includes twenty of the featured artists in the Art Quilt Portfolio: People and Portraits book. The first place these quilts were shown was at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas. Special exhibits of this kind normally…

2013 Quilt Odyssey
Windblown has been traveling a bit this summer. This past weekend it was at Quilt Odyssey in Hershey, Pennsylvania. It came home on Wednesday with a little something extra tucked into its box. Inside was an honorable mention ribbon and some very nice comments from the judges.

2013 IQF Cincinnati, part 2
I thought I’d share a few more quilts from the 2013 International Quilt Festival in Cincinnati. This one was sweet hubby’s favorite. He particularly liked the intense turquoise color. I always take pictures of beautiful quilting. Here are a few quilted details that caught my eye and begged me to stare. I’ll leave you with…

2013 IQF Cincinnati
Today was the opening day of the International Quilt Festival in Cincinnati. It sounded like a nice little get-away, since it is only an hour away from us, so off we went. It was a rainy day, but everything was bright and cheery inside the show. On the second floor, there is a walkway that…

Decatur Quilt Fest
I was priviledged to be the featured speaker for the Decatur Quilt Festival recently. It was sponsored by the Decatur Quilters Guild. They held their show at the Decatur Civic Center. It was such a beautiful venue to showcase the 300 quilts that were on display. They had even more quilts draped over the banister…

If you’re…

Quilt Queen will be traveling!
I just got notice today that “Quilt Queen” will be traveling! She has been accepted into the 2012 International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas. What fun! Now she can survey the far-reaches of her kingdom. I also sent an entry form for “Surrender,” but that one was not accepted. I really am not upset at…

2012 NQA – Playful Portrait class
I think the Playful Portraits workshop is the one that had the most laughter overall. It was so much fun just letting go and choosing the wildest prints you could find. When someone hesitated, others joined in to encourage them to take the risk! Invariably, they were glad they made choices they might not have…

2012 NQA – Fused Portrait class
I was happy to be able to leisurely enjoy the show on Preview Night because once the workshops began, this is as close as I got to the show. These photos were taken from the balcony right outside my classroom. As much as I liked seeing all the quilts in the show, I had a…
