I have some very exciting news to share! One of my quilts has been accepted to show at the Houston Internation Quilt Festival this October- it is in the exhibit "What's for Dinner?"!!!!
In this exhibit, the quilts must be the size of a placemat (15" x 24") and they must show "what's for dinner". From the Quilts, Inc website,
"We’ll “set the table” for this Special Exhibit on the show floor with
enlarged “place settings”, complete with a placemat/tablecloth, napkin, fork,
knife, spoon, and a plate full of “what you are eating for dinner.” This could
be your favorite dinner at home, in a restaurant, or what you have for Sunday
dinner. We are excited about this theme and hope that it will show a variety of
interpretations, fabric choices, and views into different cultures, rituals, and
lifestyles. Think colorful, fun, outside the box, and visually appealing! "
This website has a good look at the exhibit last year and some examples of what people made.
I'm not going to show you what I made yet, you'll have to wait 5 weeks along with everyone else and then I will post lots of pictures! I'm also excited because my sister is coming down from Connecticut to attend the quilt show with me again, I had so much fun attending with her last year!
