The news of the loss of Queen Elizabeth has dominated the airwaves in the last couple days, and it is definitely the end of a very long second Elizabethan era. At 96 years old, she had a long life and long career of service, and we can only wonder at how the world has changed since she suddenly became the heir apparent when the king abdicated for Wallis. If you have been watching The Crown over these last several years, you have just a tiny inside glimpse of the Royal Family…but we will never really have known her because she was so stoic and such an enigma. All I could think of today was…now she can finally rest. I am so happy and proud to announce that my art quilt “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” is part of the “Women’s Voices, Women’s Votes, Women’s Rights” exhibit opening at the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock this weekend. It will be open through April. It was exciting to see the iconic pink suit that Secretary Hillary Clinton wore for this famous speech, is in the display case right next to my artwork. I hope that if you are in the area in the next 6 months, you will stop to see this amazing exhibit which combines textile art and a history of Women’s Rights in America. I am so honored to have been invited to create a piece for this project. Congratulations to all the other artists who are part of this presentation. On this same page you will now see both of my art quilts in the “Inspired by our Nations Capital” exhibit and companion book. These 2 quilts (The White House, and the Folger Library Reading Room) will be in this exhibit which is premiering at the Houston Quilt Festival this year. Next week I am traveling to the SAQA Summit in San Diego, to speak about being an artist activist and curator. This week I have a conference call with the Endangered Species Coalition about a collaboration. (After our meeting in Wash DC in July) My work always has a story, for those who are open to the stitched messages. Perhaps you too are seeing your quilts exhibited, or you are sharing your work (finally) in person at your local guild’s Show and Tell. For those of us who kept working on our projects through the pandemic, this is a wonderful time to finally be able to share our work in person. Now we prepare for the winter sewing season, and think about our projects for 2023! I do have ONE spot that just opened up in my Polar Bear trip next month! Call our agent Aly if you want to be spontaneous and snag that spot! We appreciate your support of our family business, our charity program, and the opportunity to provide fabrics and services for your next project. We have received so much love and appreciation from our customers throughout these challenging years, and we want to let you know that we love you too! Big hugs!
