| Recycled Garden: Carolina Wren |
This week, in and around the snow which blew through and
closed schools for a day, I took down my two-month exhibit at the Fish &
Wildlife Regional Office in nearby Hadley, MA.
I am truly overwhelmed by the response which my quilts received. The folks working there, and those who
visited the gallery on their way to meetings/conferences in the building, were
absolutely marvelous. I received several
calls a week, for eight weeks, from folks who wanted to purchase pieces. All were warm, appreciative, and
enthusiastic. What a boost for my
self-esteem! Of the 33 quilts which hung
in the Fish & Wildlife Gallery, I sold half! Some were recycled pieces featuring birds or
wildflowers. Others were landscapes. Some were small, some were
larger. But, the experience of taking
down the show, handing quilts off to folks who had purchased them, and getting
to meet everyone in person was just wonderful.
I felt showered with appreciation.

Best of all, I am looking forward to starting two new commissions
based on some of the pieces in the show!
I love creating individualized works which incorporate imagery that is
meaningful for the buyer – using that special flower, photo, or color palate to
capture a landscape or vision.
I am so excited to begin new works: commissions, entries for contests, and pieces
for my upcoming summer show.
A few comments from the show:
“I am so drawn to the Wind Tree. It gives me such a feeling of being out at
night with the moon and nature…I would love to have it in my bedroom, luring me
outside instead of sleeping just yet.
Thanks so much for sharing.” -

“Elizabeth – this is the most exquisite quilt exhibit I have
ever seen. Each of them brings nature to
life and close to the heart. I wish I
could buy them all! In love with your
work.” -W.
“How fabulous to see so many of your quilts all at
once! And in a space big enough to step
back and appreciate them from a distance.
I particularly like your Blueberry Moon series and big oak leaves in
brocade with silver “frost” around the edges.
And the huge rose!” -Elisa
“I am a sky watcher; I like your skies very much. You have made them stand still. Thank you.” -Jeanette
“This show is spectacular.” -Gigi
“I like the Bluebird with notes and background. We so love the birds and you have done its
most prominent feature – song.” -Michael
