IQA, the International Quilt Association, has their big juried and judged show at the International Quilt Show each year. The quilts are always spectacular and it’s definitely an honor to be selected as one of “finalists.” (What they call all 400 people who have quilts in the show!)

I thought I’d probably ROUGHLY copy the background, but with plenty of alterations as they occurred to me. Right off the bat,…
Rollins College, in Winter Park, FL has a beautiful campus on the edge of a lake, with huge oak trees. It also has Cornell Fine Arts Museum, which I visited for the first time recently. While looking for the museum, we ended up in an art building with a display of student work in the…
