'Quiet Power', my quilt with the Yoshiko Jinzenji fabric. I'm not sure you can see the quilting. It was very different that any other piece in the room.
A wall of illuminated quilts.
A place for smaller pieces.
A magical atmosphere courtesy of Tommy and his classical guitar.
Opportunities to connect with old and new friends and to talk about my work.
A few more sales to cap off the night.
A good time was had by all, especially me.
Thanks to everyone who has attended and supported me in this venture. I'm hoping that it won't be a once in a lifetime experience. I'm applying for a new show at a local art center. Keep your fingers crossed for me.I'm taking a little break...I need to do some catching up around here...cleaning...finishing commission work, thank you gifts, blog reading...I'm behind in so many things. See you soon!

So happy that you enjoyed your show. Enjoy your break!
Jacquie, What a fabulous display of your quilts! You should be so proud of yourself. I so wish I could have come, but that would have required me to be in your neck of the woods. Someday!! Congrats on finishing up, you earned your break!
Congratulations on a successful show!
Enjoy your little break.
thank you for sharing all your work with us! enjoy that break!!!
My goodness! I haven't been following you long enough to realize you are such a pro! All of those quilts are yours!!! I always find such inspiration from your blog. Don't stay away too long!!
So happy that it was such a success for you. Amazing, really wish I could have seen it in person. Who knows? Maybe someday you'll have a traveling show...
I think I might have commented previously about this - but it is wonderful to see your quilts recognized for their artistry. That is a nice way to wind up summer - good luck for your next show - we'll keep our fingers crossed that it comes about. Curious though about the quiet power quilt. I tried to tell by clicking to enlarge it but is the 'background' fabric printed or is it applique and stitched. Really an appropriate name for the quilt. Cleaning! that's what I should be doing!
I love the Quiet Power quilt, so beautiful! Actually, I love all of your work and I'm glad you are receiving recognition for your artistry.
Quiet Power is so cool! Love the quilting on it. How do you contrive such fitting names for your quilts? The methods of quilt display are very nice. Glad you had fun, take a rest now, huh.
Lovely show! Hope you enjoy your break.
P.S. I really liked the Yoshiko quilt. It turned out great.
congrats on a successful show.
Looking forward to seeing what's next when you're ready to come back to us! :)

Congrats! Looks like it was fabulous! Have a good break. PS thanks for the Pocket change tutorial, I tried diagonal straight line quilting with masking tape, and loved the result! Washed, it puckers up in a very subtle way. Thanks for the idea.
Thank you for sharing the show with us. Your quilts are so pretty! I am very intrigued by the Quiet power, love it. I also love the wide range of different designs you create. Take your time to catch up with things

The show looks like a success! Take some time to relax for a little while and work on the projects that you want to work on!
Your quilts look fantastic! I'm glad you had another successful show. I love to see you photo's.
You are so artistic and talented. All I see for you are things going up up up.
Looks beautiful! You should be very proud. . .what an accomplishment. Enjoy your "break" (I'm not sure I'd translate house cleaning into break time), but I know what you mean. Simply, inspiring, my friend!
Well done my friend, well done! I am so happy to see your beautiful modern quilts getting the artistic recognition that they deserve, you are such a talented artist. How thrilling it must be to look at all you have accomplished, it is a wonderful body of work and you should be mighty proud of yourself. The Yoshiko quilt is great, I look forward to seeing what you come up with next! xo
