Earlier this year, I joined the Topeka Art Guild and have participated in every exhibit opportunity they have offered. While I have not had any sales there, I have won some monetary awards so it has been a good thing. I have met some wonderful people and they have been very accepting of a quilter in their midst which is not always the case, I know. I have been selected to be the Artist of the Month for September 2010, so I will need to keep that in mind as I send off my enties next year.<\/p>\n
Friday morning it occurred to me that the next exhibit deadline was fast approaching and I had nothing to fit the theme, \u201cWonderland in White\u201d. Putting aside the current work, I set about to remedy the situation and by late afternoon the new top was finished, layered, basted, with the quilting started. I thought I would finish it the next day. But weekends are unpredictable and it was not until Monday that it was actually ready to be blocked and prepared for the binding which I will do today. Photo tomorrow, hopefully!<\/p>\n
The Art Guild recently announced an exhibit opportunity that is nearly a year away where artists will be paired with photographer members to interpret a photograph, then the works will be exhibited together. Of course I chose a wildlife photographer and I am excited to get started on that! I have already begun the preliminary layout and fabric selection.<\/p>\n
I have started the spreadsheet to keep track of next year\u2019s entries and it is already shaping up to be a busy year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
