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.
