Happy New Year! As the year ends, I’ve been looking back at 2018, reviewing my quilting-related activities and accomplishments.
Making art – I created more than 25 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 12 juried shows and challenges, and had work accepted into most of them. I also submitted art to auctions to support CQA and SAQA.
I was thrilled to have my work accepted in my first international SAQA exhibition – Dusk to Dawn. Both of my entries were accepted, and then both were sold when the exhibition debuted at the Quilt Festival in Houston!
It’s always fun to be able to see my work on display. A few of the shows I entered were local, so I was able to see my work on display. A few of my favorites were:
- June – Quilt Canada was in Vancouver BC this year at the Vancouver Convention Centre
- August – Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild’s second Modern Quilt Showcase at the Pipe Shop in North VancouverOctober – International Artists Day (IAD) Anonymous Show, in New Westminster BC
- October – November – Fibre Art Network exhibit Botanical Reflections at Place des Art in Coquitlam BC
Trunk shows and workshops – I continued to show my work at local guilds, and teach workshops.
Overall, 2018 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 goals plans for 2019.
Thanks for sharing your work. Here’s to a creative 2019!
