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.

Remember when I posted about making small fabric collages and then cropping them to get abstract design ideas? Well, I decided to use one of my examples as the springboard for a new quilt.

There were some really great quilts at the World Quilt – FL show last week. My favorite kind of quilts are those that grab your attention from across the room and draw you closer, and then when you get up close you’re amazed by the details of the piece. For me, there were several in…

First, I selected three images for experimentation. My bottom layer was the result of a painting experiment. Next came a layer of messy text. Although it seems to be…
I’ve been busy cutting slats, packing and shipping quilts, making lists, and marking things off. Such are the activities needed when preparing for a solo show. I’ve got my promo/ad all ready to go. Now I’m working on a press release for the local papers. (When was the last time I wrote one of those???)…
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? 🙂
