Last night I spoke at the meeting of the Berry Basket Quilters in Medford, NJ. My usual speaking engagement is a trunk show, starting with some early quilts, and ending with the latest quilt in the works, with lots of hand-dyed fabric in between. It was fun, because I can always talk dyeing!
My friend Karin is in the guild, and I stayed the night with her, and we talked quilting, fabric and dyeing most of the time we were awake. I also spoke about my business and the recent craft show experience. One goal with a real deadline was applying for state-wide juried status with the
Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. So, the deadline is tomorrow, November 15, and I got my submission done today! And, by the way, I have already been juried at the Lehigh Valley Chapter level.
One of the quilts I am submitting for jurying is not currently in my hands. It is with
Shannon Shirley, and it is going to be included in an upcoming book to be published by
Schiffer Publishing. But if I am selected for the jurying session (no guarantees) I'll be able to get the quilt here in time. And the really cool part is that Shannon told me it will be included in the exhibit at the upcoming
Quiltfest Destination Savannah in the end of March, 2014. Keep your eyes open for it, and I'll post a picture of it on this site when the exhibit is unveiled.

Wow, congratulations, Lisa!
What is the book title? I have 2 quilts in an upcoming book by the same pub (Dare to Dance) & wonder if we will be in the same one?
I'm so fortunate - I'm in the Dare to Dance book, and in Celebrate the Day, with two different quilts. I have to check - I'm particularly proud of the Celebrate the Day quilt, but can't post photos of it yet. Maybe after the Savannah unveiling.
