A Surprise Show!

Last weekend my aikido dojo hosted our Sensei from Japan for a workshop. On Saturday, we planned a catered lunch in another part of the building where we rent. We didn't get to see the room until Friday morning when a few of us went to fix it up. After washing the floor and walls, it looked pretty dull.

So, since I still had a few hours till our Sensei would arrive in town, I drove back home and gathered up some of my quilts. I probably set a record for hanging a room of quilts. It was just the touch that was needed to perk up the room. Once we added some flowers, the food, and had some music playing, it really turned into a nice relaxing spot for lunch in the midst of our seminar.

So, I guess you could say that I had my first solo show. Everyone enjoyed seeing another aspect of my life. And, I have to admit, the quilts did look pretty nice hanging in the space.

  2. What a great idea -- and congratulations to you for stepping up and doing it. You're right -- the quilts look very good hanging there, and you managed to place them to complement each other too. Lovely!

  3. The space was an excellent location -- they really stand out on the walls. Good thinking to go get them and hang them up as the walls would have been pretty stark without them. Now for the next important marketing question.... did you have business cards to also give out? You never know where your next collector will be -- maybe one of them knows someone...
