I elected to go this year because I have artwork in three exhibitions. One piece will be in the new exhibition: Seasonal Palette. The artwork in this exhibition has not be exhibited or shown before, so that will be exciting to see the work and how it is displayed.
SAQA has an auction of 12" x 12" art quilts donated by 144 members including a piece of my artwork.
And the other exhibition is of artwork by the 19 quilt artists selected for a book by Martha Seilman. I am thrilled to be one of the 19 featured artists in the book. Many of us will be at IQA to discuss our artwork, autograph books, and generally have lots of fun!

Renewed congratulations -- have fun! Don't forget to stock up on water for the long walks around the exhibits! :-)
ReplyDeleteNancy I am going to Houston too, for the first time. I will be sure to look for your work. I have a photograph in the Eye of the Quilter exhibit, maybe you will have time to see it. I am also flying on Halloween form GSP, maybe we will run into each other over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteRobin, Congratulations on getting into the Eye of the Quilter. That is always a great exhibit.
DeleteI am flying out of GSP also. Leave at 2:50. What time do you leave?
I will be close to the SAQA booth. Look me up if you have a chance.
