Today’s Quilts: Art in Stitch, a juried show of quilts by Texas members of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) opens today at The Center for Contemporary Art in Abilene, Texas.
I’m pretty excited about the show, because two of my quilts are in it. Gaudi Gaillardia and Antelope Horns are both fairly recent works, and more importantly, they do not include any doilies! All my doily quilts are in the Celebrate Doilies show. I’m glad I had something to enter.
We live about halfway between Fort Worth and Abilene. It’s a two-hour drive to either one, but we seem to head east to Fort Worth more often than not. The show is a good excuse to go west, young woman!
My daughter and a friend are coming along, and we’re going to shop at JoAnn Fabrics and a couple of quilt shops. Naturally, we’ll stop at Starbucks, and we might visit The Grace Museum while we’re there. Hey, you’ve got to take advantage of being in the big city!
The show runs through November 10, 2017, at the Center, which is at 220 Cypress Street in Abilene. An opening reception is planned for Saturday, September 23, 2017, at 7:30 p.m.
After that, Today’s Quilts: Art in Stitch moves to Lubbock, to be displayed through February 2018.
