I didn’t get to sew a stitch yesterday as I spent the morning doing other tasks including preparing to ship a quilt,\u00a0 the afternoon in town meeting a friend for lunch and a movie, and running errands. We saw “The Princess and the Frog” which had some good music and fun moments, but was way too long and rather ho-hum.<\/p>\n

My piece in \u201cMeet the Artist: SAQA 20th Anniversary Trunk Show\u201d has been chosen to be one of the 55 pieces archived in the permanent collection of the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska \u2013 Lincoln.\u00a0 It will be available to researchers and students as a record of the art quilt in 2009.<\/p>\n

Sandra Sider, who selected the works for the IQSC collection says\u00a0 \u201cOne of the best parts of the 2009 SAQA conference was the three hours I spent in my hotel room, with the 20th Anniversary Trunk Show spread out over beds, tables, chairs, and floor.\u00a0 What an explosion of creative energy! My curatorial task was to select approximately fifty pieces that would be donated in 2010 as a SAQA collection to the International Quilt Study Center. This collection documents the various techniques, processes, materials, and artistic styles in quilt art during the early 21st century, and the SAQA Board envisions these quilts as research tools, far into the future.\u00a0 Your quilt was selected because it represents a particularly distinctive or original approach. Congratulations! Sandra Sider SAQA Vice President.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the past year, many people have viewed the Trunk Shows in venues across the United States and in several other countries.\u00a0 They have been shown at SAQA Regional meetings, to Quilt Guilds, in Gallery shows, at IQF receptions, and I\u2019m sure to neighbors and friends wherever the trunks have visited. Everywhere they\u2019ve traveled, they have received an overwhelmingly positive reaction.<\/p>\n

These were small pieces, I think they were 12 x 12″. Mine is called “Vinca” and shows the technique of curved seam picture piecing and machine quilting. It is indeed an honor to be in a collection at IQSC!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
