Quilting Arts TV - Season 7

Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison were in Cleveland August 30/31 to tape a few segments for Quilting Arts TV - Series 7. Pokey Bolton is on the left. The first segment of the season #701, at the tail end of the show will feature a blurb about shipping quilts and the exhibit Beneath the Surface. We are very thankful and excited that our exhibit will be featured. The DVD will come out in January of 2011. Five art quilts will be shown very quickly. They are made by Kathy York, Pam Klebaum, Desiree Habicht, Karen Rips, and Jamie Fingal.

The signage for Beneath the Surface

When you look at the brilliant layout of most of the quilt exhibitions

you are looking at the artistry of Trix.

Trix is a member of the funky red glasses club.

Obviously we had to have a photo!

I'm finding it difficult to squeeze in any blog-time while at festival! Here are a few random photos from the past several days. By no means is this selection all-encompassing, but it is a start. I won't be posting concise photos of the Beneath the Surface exhibition until after the Houston festival out of respect for Quilts, Inc., since our exhibition is not allowing photography in the exhibition. We decided to do this for several reasons, but the main one is the fact that we are selling exhibition catalogs. To their credit, the "white glove" people have been very diligent about kindly requesting that people refrain from photography.

Fooling around with the "creeper"

Here are BTS cards, a book, and our notebook with all the artist statements enclosed

Do you think anyone would notice if I took a nap under the table?

What can I tell you? I'm a little kid with scooter toys like this. I just couldn't resist taking the creeper out for a spin:
