An Award Winning Quilt, and Others on the Go

It’s great to have my quilts, once again, traveling to real live art and quilt shows. Especially when I win an award! Such was the case with this quilt, Miscommunication. Miscommunication, an art quilt by Ellen Lindner. AdventureQuilter.com

It won third place at the 2nd Biennial Fiber Arts National Juried Exhibition in Bedford, VA. How nice! This exhibit is on display through August 21st, if you happen to be in the area.

In addition, my quilt Melting Pot is part of the “Floridian Flavors” exhibit currently on display at the Leepa-Rattner museum in Tarpon Springs, FL.

This exhibit features work made by the Florida members of SAQA (Studio Art Quilts Associates,) and will be on display through August 15th.

***A road trip is really worthwhile in this case, because just down the road, in Dunedin, FL, you’ll find THREE more wonderful art quilt exhibits at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center. One of them features work by the Tentmakers of Cairo and I can’t wait to see that!

I also got word that my quilt, Florida Native #2,  has been accepted into the exhibit “Let the Sun Shine In.” This exhibit will be virtual, as well as on display in at least one gallery. (TBD.)

    I have a new white blouse.  One that I’ve already hemmed (as I have to do with all my clothes.)  And there it was, lying on my work table waiting to be ironed and worn for the first time. And then I pulled out the paints. You can guess the rest: one tiny pale spot…

  • Scenic Details

    I’ve heard it said that “God is in the details,” and I believe it. In addition to the HUGE scenery we saw on our trip to the American southwest, we also appreciated many smaller details. Like the trees leafing out in a remote canyon. The petroglyphs that are over 1000 years old. Each motif is…
