Slide Show of "Maps" Exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach, CA

As I was perusing Alex Anderson's and Ricky Tims' The Quilt Show blog, I found that their August 10, 2013 featured a Smilebox slideshow of "Maps", the Quilts on the Wall exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach, California.  It was gratifying to see my Vetruvian Man show up on this little show.  For a slice of fun, check out The Quilt Show blog post.  The art work that centered on an interpretation of the "Maps" theme were varied and quite stimulating.

Here is the post card that went out to advertise the "Maps" exhibit.  The image was taken from the outstanding interpretation of the theme by Trish Charity, artist extraordinaire.

I don't know why the bottom corner of the quilt nearest my elbow appeared wonky in this picture.  I swear, it was squared up and perfectly rectangular :-)

Here I am demonstrating the method I developed for making polymer clay stamps for use on fabric.  It was heart-lifting to see how many quilt festival attendees were interested and it was wonderful to see an old friend, Susan Edwards--the pretty gal wearing a red and white striped blouse.

All the exhibits were absolutely astounding.  It was inspirational to be among the works of such talented artists.
