Hello! So this is my other big news....Kelli and I were asked to participate in this exhibit which opened today at the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum . What an honor! The 'Artist Reception' was tonight although neither of us attended. Kelli had to work and I went up early to take photos (which are NOT allowed but I was given permission to take some of just my pieces, so here they are!). The museum is housed in the historic Gaches Mansion (which you can read about on the museum's site that I linked above). It's a breathtaking place and I'm so proud to have some of my very favorite and treasured items on display there for the next month.
If you get a chance, make your way north. The drive through Skagit Valley during the summer is fertile and green and abundance is everywhere. Farm stands at almost every turn - much bounty and local produce to be had for all tastes and appetites. The museum is cheap (I think $7) and there are a few other exhibits there that rival our cherished knitting.
Thanks for letting me share...and brag just a little. Who would have thought...a museum show?!? Oh. My.
Heheheh : )
