Therese May: artist, painter, and quilter

SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) recently auctioned off a collection of quilts left to the organization by a member who had passed away. I bid on and won a quilt by Therese May, whose work I have long admired. It is completely unlike anything I do, which is part of the reason I enjoy her […]

Quilt Judging Pointers

In August I was contacted by Brenda Wolfensberger of Quilter’s Stash Box asking me to answer questions on quilt show judging for her blogpost entitled “What Are Certified Quilt Judges Looking For?” Her questions were: 1. What prompted you to become a judge? 2. What year did you begin judging, and how did the decision […]

A group of eight of us did the entire perimeter of the country over seventeen days. We visited a weaving studio, the gallery of two feltmakers, and a sheep farm among other sites and […]

Quilts by the Sea in Newport, Oregon

At the beginning of the month I was pleased to have the Oregon Coastal Quilters Guild ask me to judge their show this year. I judged for them the first two years they held a judged show and looked forward again to the high quality of their work. Every year they do a beautiful raffle […]

Here Comes the Judge

I have had a request from a couple people who couldn’t attend the seminar I offered last September to offer one early this year. I am trying to put together one for February, but I seem to be striking out. Three of the first four replies were from people who were going to be out […]

So You Wanna’ Be a Judge

I’m offering the NACQJ Two-Day Seminar again this September. I had to turn away two people in April and had a number who weren’t able to attend for one reason or another, so I’ve found a venue and am hoping between six to twelve people sign up for a good mix of experience, knowledge and […]

Clark County Quilters Show and Computer Woes

I’m finally able to post again after having one problem after another with software issues between Photoshop Elements 14 and El Capitan on my Mac. I took Pixeladies PSE Organizer on-line class. I finished well by week three out of four and felt good about how much I had learned and accomplished, especially after dealing […]

46th Annual National Quilting Association Quilt Show

I spent last week in Little Rock, Arkansas at NQA’s annual quilt show. This was a new venue, as previously, the show was held in Columbus, Ohio. I really enjoyed seeing a new city I had never visited before. On a free morning, I walked down the street to the Clinton Presidential Center to tour […]
