Fat Email

I've heard other quilt artists who enter shows refer to the "fat envelope", meaning that there work was accepted and will be hung in an important venue.  I was the lucky recipient of a "fat email" this week.  My Warbler on Yarrow has been chosen to be in the collection of the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska.


Here's a quote from the juror of the SAQA 20th Anniversary Trunk Show:


"Congratulations!  Your piece in “Meet the Artist: SAQA 20^th Anniversary Trunk Show” has been chosen to be one of the 55 pieces archived in the permanent collection of the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln.  It will be available to researchers and students as a record of the art quilt in 2009... Your quilt was selected because it represents a particularly distinctive or original approach. Congratulations! Sandra Sider SAQA Vice President.”
