We all have that one question that we get asked. Maybe we like to wear an orange hat, or maybe we like to walk our cat in public, whatever your particular peculiarity is, it will bring up questions to those who don’t know the story and who have a genuine curiosity or just want an entry into conversation.
Mine is: “so, you’re a man…making quilts.” Often a statement rather than an ask.Which I can understand, what question would one ask? When we don’t have much precedence often we want to explain it. The statement stops just short of “why?” The “why?” I had a lovely conversation this morning with Abby Glassenberg from WhileSheNaps.com for her podcast and she asked “That Question” I have been frustrated of late answering to the gender dichotomy conundrum. Why? Because let me not be defined by my gender! Let me not be defined by my “otherness” but rather my “sameness”!!! Well… Welcome to the world of being a minority!!! Your prize: Gender binary has been in challenge for a long time. Imagine that. Hearts 2010. Notebooks 2011. Sherri Lynn Wood ~ Improv Patchwork, Modern Quilting, Art & Social Practice. Spirit Cloth.

It’s that time of year again. The Seattle Edible Book Fest is completely overrun with terrible, bookish puns. For example, “A Game Of Scones” (scones on a chessboard), “A Sweet Car Named Desire” (car shaped cake), “Lord Of The Fries” (portrait of Jesus made out of French Fries), “The Girl with the Dragon Fondue”. You get the idea. Open to anyone. When: Sunday, April 7, 4-6:30pmWhere: Portage Bay Cafe at South Lake UnionRegister: here See more at. Hens teeth. Diane Melms | Fiber Art. This is a view of the Seasonal Palette exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. SAQA did a fabulous job with the exhibit and it was a lovely display. It was a large square space with openings on two sides and park benches and plants in the center. The space seemed very open and quiet in the middle of the busy convention center. The walls were covered with fabric and the pieces were lit with track lighting. There was great diversity in style and technique in the various pieces but the uniformity of size and sequential arrangement made for a very cohesive show.
I had an opportunity to meet many of the artist and hear their stories. It was wonderful and I am honored to be a part of this exhibit, which will now be traveling to many different venues. 'BEHOLD' 78" x 32" I call the finished piece ‘BEHOLD’. After two months of work on the construction and composition for this piece, it was finally ready for the finishing steps in the process.
