Acceptance

I just learned yesterday that one of my pieces was accepted into the Sacred Threads exhibit in Herndon, Virginia, July 10 - 28, 2013. Needless to say, I am very excited. The title is Rootedness and refers to both the roots of trees and the roots we all have.

This is one of the largest non-bed quilts I have done. It measures 35" wide by 55" high. Here's some details of the many roots, some obvious and some hidden, all intersecting and touching.

I hope you can make plans to see the entire exhibit. When I saw the exhibit two years, I was moved so deeply that I had to visit it again and again.

Now, it's time to get back to finishing some pieces for an upcoming exhibit of my work in Berkeley Springs, WV, in May and June.

Let's continue to hold so many people in so many places who are hurting from events in the news in our hearts and prayers.

A new exhibit

Last night, I went to the opening of an art quilt exhibit at the Carroll Arts Center in Westminster. I have eight quilts in this lovely exhibit. Four other artists are exhibiting as well. It was a nice opening with a good number of attendees for a Tuesday evening. The local paper sent a reporter and a photographer, who were each pretty busy doing their thing. Both seemed very interested in this unique (for Westminster) exhibit. I was a bit uncomfortable with the photographer shooting a bunch of photos of me (I am always the photographer). Imagine my surprise early this morning when my daughter called to tell me I was famous - my photo is on the front page of the Carroll County Times with a nice article on the exhibit. Here's the link to the article:

 How nice to have a bit of excitement and quilts in a lovely exhibit.
