The 24th annual Northeast Quilts Unlimited show has begun at Old Forge, NY. This year, my art quilt group, the Adirondack Regional Textile Artists' Alliance [ARTAA], is honored to be featured in the invitational portion of the show. Our group is displaying "The Best of ARTAA" which includes several award-winning quilts by the members. The show runs October 9th -November 11th.
My contribution includes "Valentines for Mr. P", an especially personal quilt dedicated to my Dad as he appeared in his thirties. The choice of a black and white color scheme is meant to highlight those old brownie camera photos that we all have in our attic. Working on this piece connected me with the past and memories of Dad in a special way - and the quilt will remain in our family. A portion of the quilt is shown below:
My second piece, "en pointe" has been shown previously in dance venues and was created for the 2009 Glens Falls celebration, MUSIC and DEGAS.
I hope you get a chance to visit the exhibit at Old Forge during this harvest season.
These are two of my favorite pieces of yours, Pat -- beautiful!

"Oh,I love this!" said one lady as she stood before "Valentines for Mr. P" on Saturday. It is a very special quilt and your family will treasure it.
