You Make My Day!
Gerrie gave me the “You Make My Day” award. Thanks Gerrie! Now I have to give it to ten other bloggers, which is hard because there are so many great ones out there. But here’s a list of some people who consistently post things that cheer me up, or get me thinking about or working on some new idea: Judy, Joanie, Jeanne, Lisa, Alyson, Gwen, Emmie, Jane, and back at you,...
Read More2007 Missouri Arts Awards
On Wednesday, we were at the capital for the 2007 Missouri Art Awards. Here is Russ standing between Missouri State Govenor Blunt and the First Lady, just after he received recognition in the Individual Artist category — the highest honor an artist can receive in the State of Missouri. The ceremony was held at the State Capitol building. Although I grew in near this building, and it was...
Read MoreRuss’s Award
Not all the news from RuBert Studios is bad. On Wednesday, we’ll be traveling to the state capital for Russ to recieve his award from Govenor Blunt and the Missouri Arts Council. Each year the State of Missouri recognizes only one individual artist (including performing artists), so this is a huge honor. The award ceremony will be at the capitol rotunda at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, with a...
Read MoreHouston IQA Show and Museums
Just got back from the International Quilt Festival in Houston where I saw a lot of great stuff. Maybe in December when I get my show installed, I’ll have time to post a gallery of photos like I did last year. When you walk around a show like this, you notice the award-winners, but you also notice some great pieces that didn’t get ribbons. This is “Gerbera” by Mandi...
Read MoreHouston Calling
Quilts Inc. called today and left a message. My quilt won a cash award. I wonder what it is???? I’m happy, but won’t know what it is until the end of October at the International Quilt Festival. Ever have trouble deciding what to wear? Stripes are slimming, but then bold prints make such a great statement…hmmm, maybe I just need some more alien accessories. I was kidding about...
Read MoreHusqvarna Awards
I didn’t realize the Husqvarna Awards would be such a big thing until getting to the IQA Festival in Houston. We had a private dinner with a bunch of Husqvarna and Quilt Festival VIPs on Wednesday, and then an awards luncheon the next day. It was fun getting to know the other winners — Helen Godden from Australia (on the left), Ita Ziv from Isreal (right), and Annette Hedricks (not...
Read MoreEscape from the International Quilt Festival
“Help!! PaMdora and I are being held prisoner by a mysterious force field!” Just kidding, I think it’s some sort of tape barrier that is used to surround all the quilts at the International Quilt Festival going on in Houston right now, I suppose to keep the hoards from getting a little too touchy. We’re home now, and suffering a little art-overload after doing double duty...
