The 2010 SAQA Benefit Auction is currently in progress. This reverse auction is a fantastic opportunity to purchase textile works made by SAQA members. Bidding started on Monday, so as I write this, the price for work on the first two pages is currently $350, and it drops each day until the final price is $75. You can get a great price for some fantastic work, but the catch is, if you wait too long, your favorite may be gone!

A couple of my favorites:

Red Coleus, 12 x 12 inches, ©Susan Brubaker Knapp

Survivor: Ginkgo Biloba II, 12 x 12 inches, ©Nancy Cook

My piece is in the second group; bidding for these two pages starts Sept. 27.

Elysium, 12 x 12 inches, ©Deidre Adams

Other items of note:

Yesterday, I received a very nice mention by Pokey Bolton on the Quilting Daily Blog for Quilting Arts TV.


I was featured in the “Vignettes” (short articles) section of the Fall 2010 issue of Studios by Cloth•Paper•Scissors magazine. This magazine is available on newsstands or via the Interweave Store.

I have several pieces published in 1000 Artisan Textiles, by Sandra Salamony and Gina M. Brown, published by Quarry Books.

(This is slightly old news, but better late than never, right?)
