The quilt is finally done! Yesterday I took it to the Fine Arts Gallery at Towson University where it was entered into the Annual Student Show. In this picture the quilt is spread out on the gallery floor. Curating for the show happens tomorrow afternoon. I'll let you know if it gets into the show.

The Studio Wall
Saturday brings the glorious sun and morning-after Halloween motivation.
After searching for an hour, then parking a mile away we wandered around the streets of Fells Point (Baltimore) last night looking at all the creative costumes. There must have been 100,000 people there, literally! It was truly overwhelming.
So back here at the studio I am assembling the last of Size Queen. Take a look at this week's progress.

More Progress on "Size Queen"
I have made some more progress on "Size Queen" recently. I heard myself telling a friend last week, "she has lips now!" I am excited to be nearing the end of this project.
As some of you know I started working on it last winter, February I think. It has been an arduous task. Most of the stress has come from self-imposed and school imposed deadlines.
Two week ago I put it on the long arm machine for the first time. simultaneously finishing the piecing on the last two feet. Its a big piece (in terms of art for the student show). Work for the show is normally smaller than 36" square. This piece is currently 108" square. my original intent was to make it 108"x156". I decided she didn't need a neck.
The Submission date for the exhibition is November 11th. Wish me luck and please come back for the exhibition-photo blog entry.
