I'd like to encourage you to enter this show - fantastic venue, always an excellent show! (Full disclosure - I'm involved in the show.)

The Professional Art Quilters Alliance-South (PAQA-South)announces its eighth Annual Juried Exhibition of Innovative Quilts: ARTQUILTSmovement
Movement evokes moods as varied as the individuals contemplating it. Rhythmic strains of music, the flow of language, lithe dancers, or public change and social advocacy; all are examples that encompass the meaning of movement. Are you startled by a sudden movement, drawn in to the quickly moving plot of a good book, or feel the pulse of your heart as bloods flows through your veins? Military maneuvers, the inner workings of a watch, and a well-oiled machine all portray this basic necessity of life: movement. We invite you to share your interpretation of Movement in quiltart form. Exhibit Opens: May 20, 2011 Postmark Deadline for entry: March 19, 2011 Entry Fee: $15 for PAQA-South members, $25 for non-members for up to three works submitted. Size Limitations: No larger than 40 inches wide and 60 inches high. Contact: AQtransitions@gmail.com with questions. Note: ARTQUILTSmovement will be judged via unenhanced digital image, only. The PAQA-South International Juried Exhibition: ARTQUILTSmovement will open in the Allenton and Siemens galleries of the Durham Arts Council of Durham, NC. May 20 ? July 24, 2011: Durham Arts Council, Durham, NC http://www.durhamarts.org/facility.html It is possible that the show will travel, so please be sure to check the entry form as to whether or not you give permission for your piece to travel with the show, should it be chosen.

So - the idea behind my little spot in the in Stitches eMagazine was to show a bit of what goes on in my design process. Sometimes I have a plan. Sometimes not. The half-done Zebra in the top middle there is mine. She had a plan, one that didn't work out as well as I'd hoped so the plan changed. No big deal. You can watch the video to see what happened there. You can purchase your downloadable copy here. http://www.interweavestore.com/Quilting/eMags.html Believe me - it is totally cool to see and hear the authors work!
You might be interested in a series of essays I wrote on showing your work. They include, essays on the jury process, rejection, choosing venues, organizing your entries, and packing to ship your work.
Now for the goodies! I'd love to share a copy of my book, Art + Quilt: design principles and creativity exercises with one lucky winner that leaves a comment here on my blog. Tell me what you do when you make a "mistake." Do you expect perfection of yourself and are you devastated when you don't live up to the critic in your head? (been there - done that - not fun!) I'd especially love to hear about creative ways you've used mistakes to your advantage. Leave a comment by this Friday the 11th (with some way to get in touch with you!!!!) and I'll ship you a copy of the book on the 17th. (I'm teaching in Montana until then!)
