Mayan Families Summer Newsletter Available

Here is the link to the summer newsletter for Mayan Families, the organization that distributes the quilts we've been making.  Take a look.  They are a really worthwhile organization that provides very individualized services to indigenous people in the Lake Atitlan area.  Consider sponsoring a child for school.  Costs start at only $15 per month.

New Legacies Exhibit at the Lincoln Center, Fort Collins, Colorado

Three of my quilts were juried into the 32nd Annual New Legacies: Contemporary Art Quilts exhibition at the Lincoln Center Galleries, 417 W. Magnolia, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521.  The show runs July 11 through August 30, 2014.  Seismic Activity was given an Honorable Mention, which the cover letter states was "selected by the judges for excellence in craftsmanship, artistic expression and innovation in design and construction."  That put a big smile on my face!
