Happy New Year!
I’ve been looking back at 2016, reviewing my quilting-related activities and accomplishments.
Making art – I created more than 16 art quilts and other fiber art with a variety of themes and techniques. Many of them are shown below.
Exhibiting my art – I submitted my work to 10 juried shows and challenges. I had work accepted into 5 shows, and won 2 awards at Quilt Canada. I also submitted 3 pieces to Fibre Art Network group exhibitions – Ekphrastic and Botanical Reflections.
I was thrilled to have my work exhibited in 3 local venues during 2016. In July, Judy Villett and I had a two-person art gallery exhibition called ‘The Heart of the Forest’. That show led to an opportunity for my work to be exhibited in August during the New West Cultural Crawl. At the end of August, I participated in the first-ever VMQG Modern Quilt Showcase.
Trunk shows and workshops – I continued to show my work at local guilds, and teach workshops. I love showing my techniques to other quilters, and seeing what they create. You can see some examples here and here.
All in all, 2016 was a busy and fulfilling year for me. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing what I’ve been up to in the past 12 months. I’ll be back in a couple of days with information about my plans for 2017.
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 on a very successful year! I especially like the door in the stone wall quilt. They are all beautiful.
