Returning to the Source, 78 x 32 inches, mixed media textile, ©2012
Yesterday I received word that my piece Tracings III (no, not the one you see here) has been accepted into Quilt National 2013. We aren’t allowed to have the work shown or published anywhere prior to the opening. There is an exception stating that you can publish it on your own site, but in these days of Pinterest, etc., that would be taking a huge risk. So I’m probably not alone in keeping it under wraps for the next 6+ months. Congratulations to all of the accepted artists!
The piece above is from Seasonal Palette, a new exhibition from SAQA featuring quilts by 37 artists, who were each chosen to express one of the seasons. The quilts are all the same size, 78 x 32 inches, which should make a beautiful exhibit when they’re all hung size by side. The exhibit will be premiering at IQF Houston on Nov. 1. There is a beautiful hard-copy catalog which will be available soon from SAQA; I’ll post the link when it becomes available.
Here are a few details from Returning:
