Hands All Around, SAQA Sense of Adventure, more for Chico show

Happy to announce that "Native Market" was selected from thousands of entries to be one of twenty quilts from all over the world (they try to find them from everywhere so even less chance of getting in from the US) for the travelling exhibit "Hands All Around." It will debut in Houston at IQA show. Yeah team! Everyone who contributed a segment will be named on the placard and when it is published in QNM.

 Also debutting in Houston will be the SAQA travelling show, "A Sense of

Ready for the Show

Adventure." My "Sunset Roost " will be in that show, fresh from its appearance at the Eureka Art Museum in the latest California Fiber Artists  show, where you can also see "Streetlamp"  and the absolutely amazing work of 20 other artists in basketry, silkpainting, fiber sculpture and quilted art.









In the home stretch now for the Chico Avenue 9 show. Here are one last quilt, "Treetop Pair" and one last painting, "New Orleans in the Rain". Now just some more framing, labeling, naming, pricing, etc. We hang the show Monday. I really hope to see you all at the reception. We're throwing quite a party!

New Orleans in the Rain

 If you can't come Friday night, I'll be there Saturday from 2:30-%:00 so I can still talk to you about the work then. Thye'll be up the rest of the month, but I'll be out of town, so you are on your own ( you can of course call or email me with questions or requests for prints etc)

Treetop Pair

Then to start on the SAQA auction piece, and maybe some more portraits, and commissions. And maybe some time to read all the new books,( art, mixed media, digital art and novels) that I keep buying, and haven't had time to read. and some time to go outside and paint.
 I will be teaching a class on easy stained glass quiltmaking. Also one on portraits. Stay tuned for details.
