Day Eighteen - She Made Her Mark
Finally and at last, the work of curating the fiberarts, art quilts for She Made Her Mark at The Marie Webster House in Marion, Indiana, is complete. Lists of the accepted art works from thirty three artists have been published in prior days.
She Made Her Mark, Too, a separate but associated exhibition, also has thirty three art works from thirty three artists.
Day seventeen was a six hour day for anyone keeping track of the woman hours. Today, I've spent two hours cleaning and tidying my workroom and filing away all the documentation from She Made Her Mark in my quilt archival files.
Someday I hope that some researcher receives all my archival files. There is a lot of information in there. I don't sell the patterns I draw when I make one special quilt. I fold up and file the kraft paper drawing. Most times I also save the vellum tracing of the pattern that is used to cut every piece of the sonoran desert landscape quilts accurately.
So, with some sadness, I must conclude that this job is done. I have had a great deal of pleasure working with all the images other artists have sent me to select from. She Made Her Mark is going to be a memorable exhibition.

I have been reading your posts with great interest and amazement (is that a word?)...
The best of everything goes out to you and all the wonderful artists - congratulations!
Thanks again Thelma for a super human effort in getting this show curated. I do hope you haven't been suffering too much with your back during the time, and that now you will take the time to finish getting completely better!
well done, you are a star!
You fully deserve the rest now. That was monumental work you did while recovering from your recent surgery. Three cheers to you on wrapping up the task.
you're a legend, Thelma, but you knew that ;)
(hey by the way, your feed seems to have stopped working back in November, so anyone relying on an autonotify like Bloglines will think you've been uncharacteristically silent ...)
^sion - you can't blame her, it is my fault. I apologize for not updating the feed link in the blog template.
But you can always go and subscribe to the feeds from planet.textilethreads.com If you subscribe to the planet's feed, it will show you updates for all authors on the planet.
^^sion -- no, it doesn't look like my fault. The atom feed has not been updated since Oct 23 and Blogger does not publish it any more! A few days earlier I spent hours trying to enable the new templates for this blog and then found out that Blogger does not offer those features for self hosted blogs!
The continuous problems with Blogger are all pointing towards the path of independent blog.
weird, spider. I played around with blogger a couple of times back when, but once I decided to do it regularly I just installed Wordpress on my own server. Much more control (of course, also much more freedom to bollix everything heh). I'm glad I did though, given all the trouble people seem to be having lately with blogger.
