A Body of Work



It takes about fifteen pieces to make a show. I know this because I made thirteen and then hung them. My friend Marilyn went through the show and said, "Great work but you need MORE." And I knew she was right. It's a feeling, this sense of critical mass. So I devoted 5 days to completing two more quilts, each requiring about 30 hours. That could be what led to the the burn-out.

I've selected a THEME, and I've outlined 15 quilts. In the last two weekends I've I developed two quilts. 2 down, 13 to go. I'm going for the critical mass...
