Rising Stars Exhibit, Houston Quilt Festival
Hi all! I can share that I will be half of the Rising Stars special exhibit in Houston this upcoming International Quilt Market (Oct. 27-30) and International Quilt Festival (November 1-5).
Between now and then I will be sharing some of the 24 of my art quilts that are in this exhibit, and in a week or two share the book I have written that includes all 24 works and more (available here and directly on Blurb). As I said in the Introduction to my book,
It was a good thing I was sitting down when the inquiry popped up on my screen. After years of being in group exhibits and national level quilt shows, I had finally gathered up my courage and applied to do a solo exhibit in the Camden (Maine) Public Library’s Picker Room, the best public art space in the immediate area. I was accepted, made new work, selected my best pieces, and put them on display in September 2016. And I shared on my blog and Facebook. That was when I got a message from someone at Quilts, Inc., the folks who put on International Quilt Market and Festival, inquiring
“What are your plans to travel your very excellent exhibit?”
I would have fallen down from shock if I hadn’t been sitting.
I was beyond delighted when Quilts Inc. used my little bitty 12″ square portrait of Widgeon on their Special Exhibits page and in the catalog!

A much deserved exhibit. Your book looks to be a great publication to offer to the public as they see your work in Huston or on-line. Kudos, my friend, for the long, hard slog of work, learning, growing as an artist and making wonderful fiber art. It has been a delight to have three of your early pieces and to watch your beautiful and accomplished journey to this exhibit.
