It’s quite a shock, though a very pleasant one, to open a national magazine and see a photo of a quilt you made. I knew that my quilt In The Clouds was in a show sponsored by SAQA. After all, I had packed it up and shipped it off. Various photos of the show opening featured lovely quilts made by well known quilt artists. I quite understood why the photographers chose to train their lenses on those quilts and not mine.
Then I opened the latest issue of SAQA Journal and found myself gaping at a photo of a very familiar quilt on the outside of the right hand page.
You can see a slideshow of the whole show here. Unfortunately, I don’t think the show is scheduled to travel anywhere east of the Mississippi River, though that could change.
Congratulations! What an accomplishment and a fun discovery! The quilt is really beautiful. I feel like I am looking up through the walls of a glass building at the sky.
Thanks.
I have had that journal sitting on my desk, thank you for getting me to take a look and how fun to see your quilt. In the Clouds is a really unique and wonderful piece. Congratulations!
Many thanks.
Congratulation! It’s a lovely and deserves recognition.
Joanna, enjoy your success.
Well, so far my success has brought me a free copy of the exhibit catalog, but I am pleased that I’ve developed enough skill to have my work selected for such an exhibit.
Congratulations! And right next to Elizabeth Barton!!
Thanks. Yeah, the apposition gave me a chuckle.
Good for you!
Thank you.
Wonderful, and what fun! You deserve the kudos.
Aw shucks. (Sound of feet shuffling.)
WHOOP!! I do think that show is particularly spectacular and I imagine it will travel extensively. It takes time to get venues set. Congratulations! I saw it too!!
Thanks. I keep thinking a mistake was made somewhere along the line.
Congrats again. That is quite a coup.
Thanks.
How great! Such a nice surprise, although I’m a little surprised they didn’t contact you about the inclusion at all.
Thanks. I knew it would be in the exhibit, but I didn’t know it would be shown in the magazine.
