Not quite Athens, to Athens - and without me!

My quilt Ponder was accepted into Quilt National '11 which opened the other day. Deirdre Adams took some photos of the opening which I was not able to attend. The show looks fabulous. Also Karen Davis said nice things about my work. On Kathleen Loomis' Art with a needle blog there are several posts about the exhibition: here, and here, and here, and here, and here, and here and here - so far.

I was really pleased to be in the show, for all the usual reasons, but also because this quilt has come on journeys with me. I was working on it for two years running on my trips to Greece with my mother. It was not in Athens, Greece, but close enough. It was great that the quilt made it to Athens, Ohio although I didn't.
