My "Forest Storm" - a Finalist at 2014 International Quilt Festival!


I'm so pleased to finally reveal my entry that was juried into this year's International Quilt Festival in Houston!  'Forest Storm' was a finalist in the Art - Abstract Small category in the International Quilt Association  (IQA) competition.  It is an honor to have been selected to have my art quilt on display.  Thank you IQA for the recognition!

I've been fortunate this year to have attended Festival which just ended earlier today.  It was a great event with stunning quilted works of art of all types.  Walking through the entrance to the exhibition in the George Brown Convention Center was a magical experience. The centerpiece of the show was a spectacular chandelier of hanging red and white quilts!

Congratulations International Quilt Festival on your Ruby Jubilee, as well as a BIG thank you to all the staff who worked tirelessly to make such a beautiful Festival come to fruition!

There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
