Opening reception for Threaded was wonderful. Many friends and family came out to support me and that meant the world to me. There were alot of diverse artist's work in the space, including a very large stuffed squid that greeted you at the door, a pile of small pillows with a video screen, some lovely sewned paper work that spilled out onto the floor and two quilts from another quilter. I had 6 out of my 8 pieces chosen for the space and was thrilled. The two that didn't make the cut, were the two I really wanted more time on. Here are five of the pieces wonderfully displayed on their own wall section.
I thought they really looked great together. The Tree quilt made the cut as well and was shown all by itself on the opposite wall. I guess this piece is getting quite a bit of attention and there has been interest in buying the piece (that would be my first "real" sale of an art quilt). School has ended and I have the summer to work on more pieces for the next show that is in Sept/October. They would like a whole different feel to that show, so I have to get started on new pieces this week.

Congrats Kary! Looks like a well hung show :}
Way to go Karylee! All your stress and feeling unqualified were for nothing! I hope that piece sells, what a feather in your cap that will be and a sale is such a wonderful incentive to feed the creative flow. I'm glad it turned out so well. The pieces look wonderful, good lighting.
Very strong exhibit! Love the colors. So rich and vibrant. Congrats!
