SewIN Quilt and Fiber Biennial

Friday, November 9, 2018

The first SewIN Quilt and Fiber Biennial, put together by Art Seed, begins tomorrow. I tell you this because through a serendipitous encounter, my crazy quilt block is in the art show! I passed through my old stomping grounds coming back from my work in Kentucky and had my block on hand to show my gramma. Long story short, since “I know a guy”, I was able to add my piece. I wasn’t confident it should be in an art show, but I also thought “why the heck not try it?!” so I did. That’s bravery for you right there. Mine is located at Hosparus, and you can see it in this image if you look super closely. We joked that the title of my piece ought to have been “Smaller Than Expected” since other pieces are so much larger – mine is only the size of a piece of paper!

If you are new to my site, the piece in question is my first BCQC block. The people who work at Hosparus are among the most generous, and the people who visit are most likely quite sad so I hope that mine and the others can brighten their day a bit.

… if I have something in an art show … does this mean I am an artist? (:
