The thick envelope arrived!!! My quilt "Laddie's Garden" was juried into the AQS Show in Grand Rapids August 22-25, 2012. Technically that makes me a "semifinalist" and the packet included a media release. I deal in media releases all the time at work but they don't have my name on them, so this was a kick. I don't breathe the rarified atmosphere of the quilters who will actually win, but I'm very excited to have been juried into this show which will have had entries from all over the country. http://aqsshows.com/AQSGrandRapids/
And the knowledge that the Beneath the Southern Sky exhibition is going to AQS shows in Lancaster Peducah in 2013 makes this a banner year. Brenda Gael Smith is a wonderful organizer.
