Big Seven in Houston
The big seven at the Houston International Quilt Show used to be the people who won the big prizes, I mean the REALLY big prizes, like between $10,000 and $5,000 in cash awards. I think there are eight prizes like that now. But for me, the big seven this year refers to seven of my quilts that will be at the show in Houston. I have never had this many showing at one venue, so it's a big deal for me. On top of which, two of them are winners! But, they won't announce the prizes until tonight, and so I wait, in eager anticipation........
Opening tomorrow night are:
Building UP: Quilts, A World of Beauty, small Abstract category
Falling Through the Cracks: Quilts, A World of Beauty, Embellished category
Group Conversations: Quilts, A World of Beauty, Group category
A Few of My Favorite Things: Edges (curated by Jamie Fingal and Leslie Jenison)
Duck and Cover: SAQA, A Sense of Humor
Red Legged Bird with a Tale to Tell: Tactile Architecture
Winter to Spring: IQA's Celebrate Spring
(Lucky number 8, is my Tote bag at Quilting Arts booth # 1244)
