Exciting News!

Last week I was neck deep in school work - spending 8:30 - 9:00 or later at school for kickoff week. It was intense, and left no time for quilting. I guess that's what I get for signing up for an accelerated MBA program.

On the plus side, I did receive some positive news on the quilting front. On Monday, I was contacted by the curator of the New England Quilt Museum, asking if they could use my "Mod Hex 2" quilt for their exhibit opening this Thursday, October 10th - "Roots of Modern Quilting, A Fresh Look at Old Quilts."  Excited, I said yes.


Given the tight time constraints, we had to meet early one morning to do the handoff. It felt like some sort of early morning deal going on outside the nearby Panera. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration.

If you're in the area, you should check out the exhibit. It opens this Thursday, October 10th and runs until Saturday, December 28th at the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, MA. Better yet, Denise Schmidt is visiting and giving a lecture on November 15th, so you can check both out at one time.
