Peas 'n Honey accepted by Dinner at Eight Artists

Linda Teddlie Minton's "Peas 'n Honey" (40" x 40") was accepted into the juried invitational exhibit, "Affinity" hosted by Jamie Fingal's and Leslie Tucker Jenison's Dinner at Eight Artists, for the 2015 International Quilt Festival.  The quilt demonstrates Linda's "Affinity" for humor in art, as reflected in a favorite old poem, "I eats my peas with honey, I've done it all my life. It makes the peas taste funny, but it keeps 'em on my knife."

Susan King to have two quilts in 2015 International Quilt Festival

Susan Fletcher King will have two quilts showing at the International Quilt Festival in 2015. The first is "Jacob's Treasures, a 40" x 40" quilt which will be displayed in the special "Affinity" exitibit. This is an invitational juried show co-curated by Leslie Tucker Jenison and Jamie Fingal.

The second quilt is "The Parable of the Dragon and the Sheep", measuring 24" x 60". This will be appearing as a finalist in the juried IQA show, "A World of Beauty."

The Parable of the Dragon and the Sheep

Yes, both Linda Minton and I have been juried into the next Dinner @ 8 show - this one is called "Rituals" and the new size (24" x 60") was a challenge.  I really like working with strong verticals or strong horizontal formats, but the idea that I had for this theme just didn't lend itself to the new size.  So - back to the drawing board - or should I say - deisgn wall?  I am pleased with my final results and so thrilled to once again be included in this show!  And yes, we are thrilled that Moore's Sewing Centers at the Long Beach show, and Havel's Sewing at the Houston show are sponsoring this effort. Their support is hugely appreciated.
