Friends Everywhere

 The Festival of Quilts is put away for another year, and before I move on to other sights, I want to say how much I enjoyed meeting friends I knew, and new friends I made. Here's Jane Haworth teaching a short class. Hellos and thanks to all!

Grasping the Whole

 Hard to show you how clean and spacious this gallery was. Wood walls, clear labels, good lighting all made this 900 square feet a perfect space to show at The Festival of Quilts  2025.

Admiring Quilts

 Beverly Smith had a gallery of her work. I found it compelling and thought provoking. Just one if the many special galleries at The Festival of Quilts in Birmingham UK.

Tour Time at FOQ

a new twist at the Festival of Quilts was  tour of my gallery. I loved the questions asked, as well as the insight they had. The wonderful Jo Hall (second at left), gallery coordinator, joined in too.
 

Fashion Show

 The crowd at the fashion show went along with my joke to take a selfie. I wore the coat I'd made for the RIT show, now it's Birmingham an the Festival of Quilts. 

Back to Back

 The first encounter with mt Festival of Quilts gallery is this set of back to back works. The dimensions match closely and, with airspace between, work well. 

And NOW Look Who's Here

 Behind me are podcasters Brandy  Mazlowski (quilter on fire), Ursula Beeston and Jo Wright (fiber art take two) three incredible podcasters) visiting during The Festival of Quilts. Pretty wow!

Look Who's Here

 

Old friends and new friends visited the gallery today. We looked at a work in progress and did lots of dreaming about another class. Sigh.

Level on the Level

I loved hearing the crew (who had a laser level going) that the use their eye to make sure it looks level installing the gallery at Festival of Quilts.  

 

The Starting Line

 Here's my gallery at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham,  England.  Today was setup, and all will jump on the walls when the crew finds time. Me? Better with a night's rest. 

Visiting and Helping

 Luna Rubin was in my workshop yesterday, and offered any assistance. I took her up on that as she dutifully got the road-weary traveler delivered to her hotel. Many thanks, you are in my debt.
