Mailing List
I’m quite pleased, my postcards from Modern Postcard arrived today and they look pretty darn good for my first attempt at graphic arts. I put Structures #28 on the card, a quilt that I don’t believe I’ve ever published on the internet. It’s large (84″w x 57″h) and red. I decided on the larger card (6″x8″) and I definitely think it was worth the extra money because the quilt has a lot of detail. The quilt has hundreds of very small pieces so this is a hard quilt to get a good image of it. The slides I had taken by a professional never captured the essence of the quilt. Hurray for SLR digital cameras.
I’m working on the mailing list for these cards, to announce my upcoming solo show in February(click to view pdf version of the initial press release) and if you’d like to be added to the list and get a card of your own just email me your name and address. I promise not to send you junk mail, just postcards of my quilts every once in a while. And I promise not to sell your name or give it away to anyone. It’s a way to keep up with where you can see my work in person.
I got my first bid on the plumbing problems I mentioned a few days ago and it appears my glass shower wall will have to come down to fix things, in addition to tiling the bathroom floor as I had to pull up the carpet (why do builders carpet bathrooms?). It’s not cheap but I’ll survive and the unknown is over.
So now I can quit being stressed and get back to thinking about my quilts, it’s amazing how much this little disaster has cut into my artwork, not just the time to deal with it but the unsettled feeling. I started designing a new piece tonight (also red) and worked a bit more on quilting Structures #39, which should be done tomorrow. Encouraged by my success of designing my postcard, I’m hoping to design and order new business cards tomorrow also.

I live in an old house. I love it. Old houses suit me but they do come with their share of problems so I can relate to your plumbing issues. Glad you have some peace of mind about the plumbing and can focus, once again, on your art!
