I was one of the textile artists to be published in the SAQA Journal in 2024. They had 500 entries and had to narrow it down for an exhibit of 40 artists. The jurors were Nancy Bavor, Alice Beasley and Linda Colsh. “Before us were more than 500 children of the best artists of the Studio Art Quilt Associates, each submission the artist’s incantation to inspire a moment of magic and wonder.” Wow, I felt a huge “atta a girl” with this statement!

This is the full quilt as published with my statement about the healing process in making this quilt after a diagnosis of osteoporosis and “brittle bones”. It is titled II because the original was a 2-sided quilt that could hang from the ceiling. This one was placed on a stretched canvas.
