Although I’ve never been to the Asheville Quilt Show, my quilts have. And this year I get to go too!
I’m really looking forward to stopping in on Sunday to see my two quilts on display.
(And maybe I’ll do some shopping at the vendors too! Hah, “maybe.” I crack myself up!) Maybe I’ll see you there. Here’s the info.

Are you a Star Trek fan? Do you know about Klingons? They’re a very fierce fighting clan who’s motto is “It is a good day to die.” So, when I headed out the door to a recent dye session my husband pronounced it as “a good day to dye.” And indeed, it was. The weather…
I belong to a wonderful organization called SAQA, Studio Art Quilt Associates. The primary purpose of the group is to promote quilts as art and to support art quilters. As part of the first goal, SAQA puts together a trunk show every few years. Members are asked to make art quilts that are only 10″…
I needed to depict a traffic jam for my hurricane (evacuation) quilt. Thankfully, I had a reference photo. So, I made a colorful replica. I thought it needed to be thick/padded to go with the texture of the raw-edged spirals. However, the bright colors of the vehicles disappeared a little against the bright floral background.

In the hands of painter Ray Turner, each person not only looks different, but in many cases, their personalities shine through. This grouping was on the main wall at the Foosaner Art Museum, in Melbourne, FL. Can…
I stopped counting when I got to 250. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY unique color swatches! More than, actually. These are the swatches showing what each of 7 different basic colors looks like when mixed with the remaining color, Turquoise. Each color combination has been mixed in 3 different proportions, and 3 different strengths. Here’s Lemon…
I quilted my latest quilt and was pretty happy with it. But, as I studied it, one spot bugged me. I thought this spot was too busy and that a solid piece of fabric would look better. Should I applique a different fabric over the current one? Maybe something brown or purple? As I auditioned…
I’m going today! Sorry I will miss you, but I’m looking forward to seeing your quilts!
If I were in town I’d be there in a heartbeat. Would love to see you and the show. I’m at Wildacres however doing mosaic!
Happened to be on a quilt retreat in Cosby TN a couple years back during the Asheville Quilt. Love show and vendors.
What’s not to love? 🙂
