Rituals exhibit to travel to The Netherlands

The invitational exhibit "Rituals" (created by Dinner@Eight's Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison) was so well received at the Houston International Quilt Festival this October/November 2012 that it will fly across the pond to the 'Open European Quilt Championships' in the Netherlands. Show dates are May 3-5, 2013.  Both Susan Fletcher King and Linda Teddlie Minton have work in the exhibit.

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.
