Catching Up, Keeping Up and Shouting Out

The AQatS Committee is fervently tending to (seemingly) millions of details related to the opening of ArtQuilts at the Sedgwick: On the Square. As you can imagine, a lot of work goes into producing an exhibit. The Committee is particularly grateful for the support and energy of the ever expanding roster of volunteers. The KEEPER will hold the applause for now but expect a rather heartfelt posting some time after the show opens.

Catching Up

Our last post promised the return of WOOLPACK WEDNESDAY for the profiles of Melva Hightower and Shawn Towey. No worries--their profiles will be posted on April 5, 2006.

The 01/04/2006 entry on the blog art for housewives features Carolyn Lee Vehslage.

On Monday, March 13, 2006 Valerie S. Goodwin was the Quilt Artist of the Week at Whip Up.
