Quilt National - again
Pam RuBert sent me a few photos of my quilt at Quilt National. Thanks Pam.
Structures #55 at the Dairy Barn:
She said my quilt was front and center when you walked in the front door. Cool! That is the best of show quilt just to the right of my quilt.
I received a copy of the Quilt National Catalog yesterday and was happy to see my quilt made it on another 2 page spread. The color is off in the book - it is glaring primary yellow instead of the more greyed (but admittedly still bright) color that it really is. Oh well. It still looked great and I’m happy to have been published again.
In administrative news - my web hosting provider (lunarpages.com) is going to move my account to a different server in the next day or two. I have been unable to read email consistently for a couple months and they feel this move might solve the problems. Personally I think the problem is the IMAP server connection doesn’t like it that I log in from both home and work. But what the heck - at least I finally got them to do something about it instead of telling me over and over again it is not their fault.
So this means two things - 1) my website might be inaccessible for a while (although they claim not) and 2) my email has been really flakey for a few months - I’m going to try to catch up in the next day or 2 so if you sent me email and never got a response - sorry. Hopefully things will behave again soon - it is extremely frustrating not to be able to access ones email.

Congrats on Structures #55 being hung so well and prominantly at Quilt National! It is so striking and I love the color. A lot of people are afraid to use the color yellow so it is very refreshing to see that color being used and so dominantly, too. I just love the lines, too. Just amazing.
And my sympathies concerning your web hosting provider. I am very lucky in that my husband hosts my website (he has his own business), so if something goes wrong, I can usually get it fixed quickly. Of course, that also means that I am the main contact for some of his other clients if something goes wrong for them. :-) Oh, well. You can’t have it both ways. :-) Anyway, congratulations again.

Congrats on both fronts of your Quilt National successes, ie., front and center and published.

My quilt didn’t look very good in the book either — too dark. Probably worse, some one decided to overlay an detail photo on top of the overall quilt. As far as I can tell, they only did that to three quilts in the whole book, but most people I talked to agreed that the effect was disturbing and took away from the composition of the overall quilt. I heard a lot of complaints from the artists at the opening about the colors in the book, so you’re not alone. Something got really screwed up this year!

Congrats, Lisa! I think this is great - even though the color isn’t exact. I am glad your placement is good.
I hope your transitions go smoothly!
