Who will collect, study, and cherish your quilts?
It is always fun when textile friends around the world let you know that your work was shown or mentioned. I got a text from a curator friend today, that my "Enslaved People of Mount Vernon" quilt was in a presentation at a textile museum conference in North Carolina this weekend. (Thanks Alicia and Alden!)
Based on my genealogy research, I had 18th century ancestors in NC, so it is always possible the textiles they study were made in my ancestors' community. I find the older I become, the more my quilt interests intersect with my genealogy work. But then, many of you know that already!
This brings me to the topic of labels again. I urge all of you to put detailed labels on the backs of your quilts. Lately I've been adding some labels to detail the places my art quilts have been exhibited. I know that will be of interest to someone in the future. I have been to AQSG seminars twice now, and I've caught the bug. After seeing hundreds of women intensely combing through provenance on one quilt or one historic textile item, I understand how important it is for us to document our work on the piece itself, for those who come after us.
You will notice that we just got in next year's Hoffman Challenge fabrics.
I shipped off my Hoffman Challenge quilt for judging this week, and I am finishing another larger piece for the Soul Stories Part 2 exhibit that will be in Houston this Fall. I hope you have enjoyed the first weekend of Spring, and are having a productive month.
Sharing your passion for fabrics....
Luana and Paul
