I find it such a lottery with exhibitions.
There are the big shows which display the work of fewer than 100 folks, but to which many hundreds submit. Then there are the themed shows - but I find that my work rarely fits the theme. And I seem to be unsuited to sitting down and producing to an ordered theme. Not to mention the time it takes to make my pieces anyway.
Then sometimes a theme comes along for which my work is appropriate. And having submitted, am accepted! My quilt forms Waiting, above, and Snagged (to the left) will be appearing in the mixed art HerStory exhibition in Winchester from 8 June to 8 July.

Congratulations, Olga! Wish I could see the exhibition.
And I know what you mean about exhibition "lotteries", so it's all the more reason to feel your work has great merit.
Hurrah! I look forward to seeing the show.
Thank you both - I am curious to see the exhibition too. It's a strange phenomenon, this putting of one's work forward to hang alongside other work which is unknown.
Congrats! These are great pieces and you are fortunate to find an exhibit made for them - so much nicer than you having to make for the exhibit theme.
Sheila, thanks, and I am indeed fortunate that from time to time a theme and my work coincide. Even more fortunate that all three elements of theme, work, and acceptance go together!
