First acceptance of 2015 :^)

Flying Geese Variation

I was SO happy to have Flying Geese accepted into PAQA-South's ArtQuiltsReminisce!, which asked participants to reminisce a little, then share their story in art.

Today is also my turn to post on Viewpoints9-3.  Since 'conflating' is the hot new journalism word, I thought I'd conflate my two posts.  Hop on over the catch the whole, unadulterated story.

Killing two birds with one stone.  OOOH, sorry for the really bad pun. ;^)

I'm in excellent company

A set of postcards arrived in yesterday's mail from the ArtQuilts illuminations exhibit committee.

Again, this year, I will be unable to attend the Artist's Reception. You'd think I traveled all the time. Last year we were in Australia and this year we will be in China. Okay, we HAVE been traveling a lot lately. Frankly, when the opportunities present themselves I'm afraid NOT to take them. Like my daughter says "Go. Go, Mom. As long as you are able. Go."

Back to the topic: My hope is that someone will take a photo of my work Sticks and Stones in situ and email it to me.

It was quite a thrill being judged into the PAQA South show again! And it was equally thrilling to be in such wonderful company. . . . artists whose work I've long admired.

Happy Presidents' Day, Happy Valentine's Day, Happy Chinese New Year!

AND Happy "I Got Juried in Day" to me!

Erring on the side of discretion for a change, I'm posting a detail and not the entire image of "Stick and Stones", the piece that just was juried into the PAQA-South (www.artquiltersouth.org) upcoming exhibit ArtQuiltsIlluminations.

The exhibition will be presented March 26 to May 30 at the Durham Arts Council, Durham, NC. There's a chance that the exhibit will travel to other NC venues.

I was fortunate enough to have been juried into the PAQA show last year ArtQuiltsTransitions with "Phases of the Moon". I'm happy to say that it was purchased at the Fayetteville Museum (by one of their Board members) when that show traveled there. I'm posting a detail from it too.
