This post is about something wonderful. In the Making 250 years/250 Artists is a celebration of artists in the 14 County region of Southwestern Pennsylvania Fe Gallery owner, Jill Larson pulled together a show juried by a panel of five (Vicky A. Clark, Joey Kennedy, Janet L. McCall, Katherine Talcott, and Michael Olijnyk) which showcases the areas diverse artistic talent, 250 artists, 250 works of art on display salon style in her gallery and it is wonderful! Kudos to Jill and thank you!
In addition there is a catalog which accompanies the show designed by a fabulous graphic designer Martha Wasik. The catalog is stunning.
I was honored to be one of the artists chosen.
Recently the show was reviewed by Lissa Brennan in the City Paper. I was fortunate to be mentioned. My quilt Three Rivers Arts Festival Catalog 1968 Things We Found in Our Parent's House #2 is in the show. The original photo image used in the quilt is from that catalogue. Sadly there is no credit given to the photo, it was taken by a medical photographer I like to think Mr. Veder who knew my dad.
I scanned and printed the photo it flipped it and rotated it. Here's a close-up:
And the full shot. Still working on integrating PC and Mac so the full shot, something amiss.

Hi Del,
Thanks so much! I am going to take time in 2009 to just work I feel like a got nothing done this last year. Maybe then either one of my quilts or better yet me will make it to your neck of the woods. The best to you as well!
Thanks Lisa. It was my professional high point of the year.
