June 09 Fabric Trends will showcase "Spring Break"

What a nice surprise! Fabric Trends got a kick out of my traveling exhibit piece called SPRING BREAK! It will appear in the June 2009 issue.

Headed for Paducah

Well I'll be danged!! Just got word that my African Bull piece "Endangered" is going to Paducah for the late April show. Heck... I haven't even been there! Anyway.. pretty exciting! This was my first entry to Paducah and I was somewhat surprised to learn their wall entries have a fairly large minimum size.... I think 41" wide which Endangered just makes.
We all must get there someday.... not to 41" wide.... to Paducah! :-) Patt

Los Angeles Area "Avenue 50 Studio" EXHIBIT and Sale - SAQA

Sometimes I NEED to do something abstract just to focus on fun quilting techniques/ patterns. Strings 1 is one such quilt. (There is also a strings 2 and 3). I dropped Strings 1 in the mail today for an upcoming Surface Art Associates juried exhibit/sale at Avenue 50 Studio Gallery, 131 No. Avenue 50, Highland Park, Ca. 90042. This should be interesting in that there were some 134 juried entries including international entries from Spain, Netherlands, Australia, Japan, Canada, among others. The exhibit and sale will run from March 14, 2009 to April 5, 2009. I think I need to go there myself!
