It’s been so long since I submitted to this book, that I forgot what I sent them, but my complimentary copy arrived yesterday and I am blown away by the quality of this book published by Lark Books.

There are over 400 pages with every sort of art quilt presented by many well known or emerging artists, juried by Karey Bresenhan. I was fortunate enough to have two of my quilts included!

The glossy pages are not the greatest for photographing, but you can also see my images on the website gallery of large quilts, where you can also read their stories. Click on Gallery on the left of your screen.

Watermelon Wine, 2006, 69.25 x 55″ page 231
This image is a little dark, but that is my fault as it was sent before I had my monitor calibrated.

Bittersweet Memories,2005, 62.5 x 49.5″ page 335
It’s neat how they coordinated the facing pages to compliment each other.

It’s probably been a year since I submitted to this upcoming Lark book, and gleeful reports of acceptance started coming in to QuiltArt while I was still in Atlanta. As time passed with no letter for me, I was resigned to not having any work in it. But, yesterday my letter finally came! “Bittersweet Memories” and “Watermelon Wine” will BOTH be in the book which will be out in the spring of 2010. How cool is that?
