Last night I was invited to give a Trunk Show of my work at the Shoreline Quilters Guild in Branford CT. I had belonged to this guild several years ago so it was a real treat to be invited to return. Lots of familiar faces and many new ones too.
"Prickly Secrets"...and I have no idea for whom the Victory sign is being given |
"They Rode the Stars to Heaven" |
"Ode to Charley Harper" |
Two really serendipitous things happened last night: First, some of my buddies attended for moral support. As I hardly ever plan too far in advance, their being there was perfect: I had some help traveling the work around the crowd to see the pieces up close and personal.
Second, one of the members and a new SAQA member, Jan Doyle was there WITH HER CAMERA. Remember how I don't like to plan too far in advance? I did remember my camera, but I hadn't asked anyone to take pics. So, whilst my buddies traveled artwork, Jan snapped pics.
She sent these three this morning for my use. Darn, she's good! I would never have taken...or posted...these 'animations' of myself. But they are funny. God knows what I was saying. They are so graphic you can just make up your own narrative. I am.
Thank you Jan, Barb, Robin, Vivika, Debbie, Judy Siccama and the Shoreline Quilters Guild! You are the BEST.
Great quilts, Diane, I love your work. What a cool opportunity for you. Also, I love your shibori sweater or jacket!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great time showing some fabulous quilts. I love your jacket.! It looks like shibori. Did you make it?
ReplyDeleteThe shibori top is a lightweight knit that I bought in Texas last year. Thanks for your kind posts
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat for the guild to view your diverse work! I was wondering about your jacket as well... lovely!
ReplyDeleteJan captured your dynamic personality, and the quilts very well! I'm sure the guild oohed and Ahmed over your beautiful work.
