Sightlines Unveiled
Read all about it! Read all about it!
The catalog for the "Sightlines" show is out just in time for the inaugural event
in Houston, TX this week during the International Quilt Festival.
About a year ago, out of several hundred candidates, fourteen artists
were chosen to create an installation of artworks featuring a sightline
linking all the work in the exhibit. Each artist chose her own theme
and created a central piece plus an additional four linking pieces,
covering a total of ten feet in width each.
Photographer Gregory Case took this photo of my piece for the show's catalog.
Click on it to enlarge. I am so very pleased with this representation of my
work - thank you, Gregory. The detail photo is mine.

On the way home from Spoon River, I visited the desolate town
of Centralia. My new imaginary city is done.
New residents are moving in. Applications are still open.
