Big Seven in Houston

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)

It seemed that as I selected favorite pieces at IQF last week, I kept picking your work! Then to find out you are in Austin too -- and I loved your Self-Portrait from last year as well. You have a new fan -- me!

I look forward to seeing/discovering more of your quilt art.
