External Validation
The feeling of engagement in the process of quilting and the pleasure in (some of) the finished products are entirely sufficient motivations to keep me going in quilting. But it's nice to get external validation occasionally as well. My little "Waves" wall hanging recently brought in $250 at the Brockton Family & Community Services raffle. (Detail above, to show quilting.) And "Loss" has been accepted into the 2009 Sacred Threads show. (Mary Beth has had two quilts accepted into the show also.) I'm not inclined to enter juried shows, but the special nature of Sacred Threads made it a venue in which I could imagine sharing "Loss" with a larger audience.

Congratulations Penny! Sacred Threads seems to be a very sympathetic forum for sharing Loss.
ReplyDeleteGood job on both! So what was your final decision about the squiggles on "Waves"? Will you travel to the Sacred Threads show to see your entry hung?
