Art Quilts at the Sedgwick Opening

April 13, 2006

“Throw away the box, I’m wearing those red cowboots out of here.” And so I left Dudes Boutique and went directly to a packed house at the Art Quilts at the Sedgwick reception (which wasn’t at the Sedgwick, but at the Philadelphia Arts Alliance).

I was actually color-coordinated with my best black suit, red blouse, and red Pucca watch, which seemed almost as popular as the red boots. I met a lot of great upbeat people on this trip, but it was especially fun to meet fellow art quilters and/or bloggers.

(left to right): Rayna Gillman, Lisa Call, Pat Autenrieth, Valerie Goodwin, and Sandra Woock. Darn it, I didn’t get a photo of Pat Kroth who generously shared her room with me so I could stay downtown near all the action — but here’s a cool exhibit that she’s curating called Text and Texture where fiber artists are collaborating with poets.

The show was great, and I was dully impressed with the high quality of so many of the works, and hey, there’s my quilt! Okay time to go…I talked Lisa and her pals Sandra and Carol into leaving the reception in time to catch the opening at the Fabric Workshop.
