November has flown by, and I didn’t post anything here on my blog. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy! I’ve been attending lots of Zoom meetings with various fibre art and quilting groups, reconnecting virtually with friends and watching interesting presentations.
I decided to submit entries to a couple of virtual quilt shows. I spent several days in November deciding which quilts to enter, taking photos, editing photos, writing artist statements and entering online.
Road to California will hold a virtual event in January 2021 called Road@Home. They will have online classes, lectures, panel discussions – and a quilt exhibition and contest! There are no date restrictions for this quilt show, so I entered 3 of my older art quilts that are not eligible for most quilt shows. I’ll know later in December if any of my quilts are accepted.
I submitted 6 quilts to QuiltCon Together, which will take place in February 2021. “This brand new online version of QuiltCon will still feature a juried quilt show as well as top notch workshops and lectures. The five day event will include live lectures, panels, and tours, as well as on-demand workshops and many opportunities for socialization.”
Here is a glimpse at 5 of the quilts I submitted:
I also submitted my self-portrait quilt to the Knitting & Stitching Show online self-portrait competition. It’s online now, with hundreds of fabulous entries. And the winning entries have been announced. Check them out.
In other news, my entry to Quilting Arts magazine’s Art as Inspiration reader challenge was accepted as a finalist! I have shipped it to them for photography for publication in a future issue. (See my last post for information on how I made it.)
