Lovell guild has invited us to have a "art quilt" show. I have volunteered to put it together but I need your art quilts. Anything you have. Email me and I will arrange pick up. The show hangs on Wednesday, June 24th. I would need them at the latest on Tuesday the 23rd. They are waiving the entry fee for the art quilts from TAGY.
The show is an annual event with lots of traditional quilts, absolutely beautiful quilts and this is the 1st time for a showing of art quilts. Show is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Armory and it is really worth the drive to Lovell to see it.

June 2009
A few highlights of the meeting follow. Since there is no secretary, and I didn't take notes, please add to this with your own thoughts, and with things I forget to mention. This blog is meant to be interactive with everyone participating. The password was sent out by email. If you forgot the password, email me for it at lov2quilt@gmail.com.
Julie Owens gave the program on turning doodles into art. She brought a small quilt made by Carol Bryer Fallert and showed us a technique that Carol taught in her class. Carol's incredible website can be found at: http://www.bryerpatch.com.
Rebecca True showed a new quilting book she co-authored with Patricia Pepe called X-BLOCKS LAND. She told of promoting the book in Houston by wearing a tiara, aka "fairy godmother". Kathy L told about the Tiara Parade at the International Quilts Festival in Houston, and said to look for it on the web.
Jeanne Knudsen and Rebecca True showed their "Fibrations" entries. Photos of the quilts were due today. I brought my photos and entry info on a CD for Kathy, who is hosting Fibrations for SAQA.
There were other lovely items for show and tell, including a baby quilt, but I can't remember who showed what, so it is up to you to add info to this blog.
