I haven’t posted for a couple of weeks, but I have been busy with lots of quilting-related activities.
I attended the annual retreat of the Fibre Art Network (FAN) in Edmonton. It was an 
opportunity to re-connect with old friends, and to make new ones. We shared information, talked about our progress as artists, and made plans for new group exhibitions.
One of the highlights is the art exchange. We each made a small piece, which we displayed then exchanged. I came home with this beautiful Cityscape, made by Jenny Perry.
I’m working on a new art quilt for a Fibre Art Network exhibition called Canadiana, which will debut at the New Zealand Quilt Symposium in January 2015. This is a juried show and I’ve been advised not to show the piece until after the jurying, so I’m keeping it under wraps for now. The entry deadline is October 1st, so I’m focusing on it for the next few days.
And some delightful news – the CQA ‘It’s Time for Colour!’ traveling quilt show of 36 small quilts by CQA award winners will debut in Victoria BC at Satin Moon Quilt Shop from October 19 to November 2 – and I will be visiting Victoria at the end of October, so I’ll get to see them all! This is the quilt I contributed to the show – Rainy Day Girls.
And speaking of Rainy Day People quilts, earlier this year, I submitted some of my art quilts for a book which will be released at the end of the year. I hadn’t heard any news about whether any of my pieces would be included, but when I checked the publisher’s website, I discovered one of my Rainy Day People pieces on the cover! I’ve been informed that a few of my other quilts are in the book, but I don’t know yet which ones.
Thanks for stopping by. Today, I’m linking up with these blogs – click on the links below, where you’ll find many other creative and inspirational projects.
Congratulations Terry! I love “Rainy Day People” and they’re on the Cover!!!!! Love your other fun news – I’m off to check out the links. best, Deborah
PS I’m also in the 1000 Quilt Inspirations book but don’t know which piece(s) made it — we’ll see in a few months:)
Congratulations! How exciting!! Can’t wait to see the new piece and I really love the city scape you brought home from the retreat.
Congratulations! I love the Rainy Day Girls quilt, especially the reflections!
Hi Terry, that would be a lot of fun to go down to that New Zealand show, wouldn’t it? What is CQA, & how did you hear about that book? I like your umbrella girls! Thanks, Heidi
Hi Heidi. CQA is the Canadian Quilters Association. They put on a national juried show every year in Canada, in a different city every year. Next year’s Quilt Canada conference and national juried show will be in Lethbridge Alberta.
The book – I received a call for submissions email from the book author/curator. I think she got my email address because I’m a member of SAQA, but I’m not positive about that. I’m just happy she included me in her email list!
Congratulations Terry on all the exciting new things that have hit your plate. I always enjoy following your creativity on your blog even if I don’t always leave a comment. This time however I thought it time I gave you an “Atta Girl”. On another note if you have a moment, I’d like to talk to you about an artist’s profile/bio.
Congrats…..how wonderful!!!!
congratulations on making the cover Terry! Darn, I’m going to be in Victoria the week before the show opens 🙁 That’s a great piece you brought home from FAN!
Congratulations on the cover Terry! I love your rainy quilts!
Congratulations! How much exciting it is! I just can’t wait to see the upcoming piece. And really love your rainy quilts.
Congratulations
