Quilt National 2025
This weekend I am writing to you from Athens Ohio, as I attend Quilt National at the Dairy Barn.
Congratulations to Anne Smith from Wales in the UK, who won the International Artist Award sponsored by eQuilter.
This is one of the most competitive and prestigious shows in the world, so it is such a pleasure to be here at the opening with many of the artists in attendance. Art quilts come in from all over the US, and this year there were quilts from 23 other countries ... a truly international exhibit!
It was obvious this year that many of the artist had thoughts and emotions to express in their work, about the state of the world. I reached out to several of these artists who are making art that is similarly inspired by the events and issues that are also inspiring/informing my own work.
Friday night was the award ceremony, and then the Dairy Barn hosted a dinner for the artists and sponsors. Today (Saturday) I went into the gallery before it opened to the public, to get photos of the quilts. Then we had a gallery walk where each of the artists in attendance, stood in front of their work and talked about their inspiration and process. I had already walked through the exhibit twice, but hearing the verbal artist statements was a deep plunge into the richness of each artist's story.
I am not getting much sleep, but I am having lots of fun photographing the show and hanging out with artist friends. I'll be posting photos and sharing them with you soon. Watch this space!
sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
