Did you know the best way to have a quilt hang in a show is to plan and host your own show? I volunteered to coordinate the first show for my guild, BoulderMQG, and our theme was sustainable modern quilting. Participants were encouraged to enter quilts that fell within these five categories: repurposed, rescued fabrics; renewable, sustainable new fabrics; scraps, waste, and otherwise trashed pieces of fabric; repaired, restored, and reworked ‘old’ quilts into new quilts; unusual materials.
I had two quilts accepted to the show, #theglaciertwo, and The Thaw.
This show hung at the Albert A. Bartlet Science and Communication Center, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado in the fall of 2018. This turned out to be such a nice show and I’m so happy that I put in all the work to make it happen. Thanks to everyone for all the support during this process.
