20 X 12 Debuts at NW Quilt Expo

Terry and I just finished hanging the quilts at Quilt Expo. They look so beautiful and are already getting rave revues from those setting up at the venue. The show does not open until Thursday, but we are very happy to have them hanging and ready for the opening. The above photo was taken before I added the signage. You can click it to see a larger view.

On the other side are Maverick and Sweet.

Terry and I will be around some on Thursday. On Friday, we will do a floor talk at 12 noon.

One Fourth of the Twelves at Quilt Expo

Nikki, Gerrie and Terry at Quilt Expo today. It was great to neet Nikki's mom and mom-in-law, both wonderful women. 

Together for the Last Time

It is bittersweet to realize that the two sets of our quilts will be together for the last time, here in Portland. So, I just had to post some photos.

As you can see, we have lots of fans. I was told by several people that it is the best exhibit in the show.

I just love to lurk and here the comments. Sometimes, I will introduce myself and people are always happy to meet one of us.

I took 12 books in for the Expo booth to sell. When I left this afternoon, more than half were sold.

I so love seeing these quilts together like this. 

Twelve by Twelve arrives at NW Quilt Expo

Mr C and I arrived at the NW Quilt Expo and were met by enthusiastic helpers. These kids loved our quits and were having a good time hanging them. The artist statements will be pinned between the two mosaics.

They were busy bringing in the other quilts and working out logistics, but they knew where we were to be. We are the first exhibit as you come in the doors.

After I explained the procedure and made sure they knew what the were doing, we left to go home. When Terry and I get there early Thursday morning, we can check that every thing is as it should be. I always get a thrill when I see these little gems hanging in a show once again.

Getting ready for the Quilt Expo

This week Gerrie and I met at my studio and opened up the two big boxes containing all of the Twelve by Twelve quilts sent to us from IQF Long Beach. We decided we needed to inspect each quilt and make sure they are in good condition and properly attached to the felt panels for exhibit at the Quilt Expo later this month. (See the details below) They are like old friends now and we were so happy to see each one again. We made a couple of tiny repairs and reattached some corners. Overall, they look great for all the traveling they have done. I can't wait to see them hanging again and to share them with our local friends. Gerrie and I will be there to greet visitors and answer questions. Be sure to find us if you will be there too!
