This poster child of the Orange Show @hellostitchstudio and one of my all time highest likes & comments quilts is in a box and going to a new home tomorrow. It hung in the Quilt Barn for a long time, enjoying day after day. Now another quilt lover gets to experience its magic.
Gone but not forgotten. 🍊🧡

11 years ago today, Unconventional & Unexpected was first released by Abrams/STC Craft/Melanie Falick Books. The incredible design was created by Sarah Gifford; the amazing essays written by Natalie Chanin, Elissa Auther,
Amelia Peck, Janneken Smucker, Sherry Ann Byrd, Denyse Schmidt, Sunny Smith, Ulysses Dietz, Kaffe Fassett, and Abner Nolan.
Here are a few of the many cover possibilities we considered. I love the cover we chose!!
Quilts published in U & U are now in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, International Quilt Museum, Newark Art Museum, High Museum, deYoung Museum, BAMPFA (Eli Leon’s collection), and numerous private collections.
In the past 11 years, the most unexpected and exciting things have happened as a result of this book and I am still filled with so much gratitude.
Stay tuned for some exciting announcements about future projects around U & U.

Walking through one of the 7? Richard Serra Corten steel sculptures @museoguggenheim , I happened upon this lovely scene. As we exited, I showed them my image which they loved. (and I shared with them). Claudio was photographing Sandro.

South African artist, Igshaan Adams, @igshaan.adams work at Bilbao Guggenheim. Made me think of @demetribroxton and the intricate work he is making.

It only took 29 years to get there but I finally made it to Bilbao to see the Guggenheim. What a nice surprise that San Francisco artist, Ruth Asawa’s retrospective show was there. Frank Gehry’s building did not disappoint in any way. It’s INCREDIBLE.
