The Lecture

(I am sorry this is a blurry photo but) Meg Mooar went to this same lecture in Houston and took up journaling as a result! Look at her enthusiasm in showing me the pages. And she brought a non-quilting art friend to see my lecture too!

Meg is front and center in this photo too, less blur!

I have been a member of three quilt guilds, when I started attending NSQG, as we tend to call it, I was just hitting my artistic stride. I decided (without asking) that I would create a monthly surface design challenge and would go home each month to create a supply list and basic outline. I gathered a group of people and really took advantage of what everyone had to offer and enjoyed being a member of the guild.

I found the guild to be predominantly traditional but very supportive of artistic aspirations and developments, I mean last night their quilt art special interest group had a how-to about blogging!

I felt honored to be asked to speak with them and went home feeling enthused, it was great. AND, um... I sold two small works last night. (Yippee-I love selling work)
