I have spent so much time on the two commissions earlier this spring, that I have not had a chance to get much new work done that I can enter in shows. Last week was the deadline for the Art Quilts XI show at the Chandler Center for the Arts in Arizona, curated by Diane Howell. On a whim, I entered Mallory Brook, in the orientation suggested by my crit group. It was in a show in Marin County last fall, but it has not gotten in to any other shows. I sent in jpegs via e-mail and today got an e-mail from Diane saying it was juried in to the show. As a reminder, here it is in all its surface design glory:

I have not been good about replying to comments. I have been so busy. M & M were here over night and after pancakes and black berries, they went home. Then I had to walk Maggie and rush off to get my hair done – a nice new red color. Since all the artwork came off the walls while Steve painted, it was my job to get it back in place. This was no easy feat ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äù remember my wall of crosses? He left the nails in, but I had to pull up the photo on my computer and begin putting them back. It was like doing a puzzle. Now I have to get packed to leave early in the morning for Seattle. Ta!
