Andy and I are Keeping Busy

Good Day,

Yes, we're both Cranes crazy. It is our niche right now.

We're managing while creating and composing the Cranes Quilts for our "Hope Project" show, the Cranes Quilt Bedspread for the upcoming Florida CraftArt "At Home with Craft" show, and our "One (actually Two) Man Show" next year May and June at the Mirella Cimato Gallery in St. Petersburg.

And don't forget our current "Two Hallways" exhibit of 26 of our quilts at the @2902 Art Gallery at Jimmie B. Keel Library in Tampa, Florida, through September 30.

Hell, it is giving us something to do and we're definitely keeping occupied.

We've got an extremely short window to complete the Cranes Quilt Bedspread. It will be presented at the Florida CraftArt show "At Home with Craft" in St. Petersburg, Florida, September 7 through October 27. I've attached the press release.

The current tally of Cranes Quilts included in our "Hope Project" is as follows -

19 Quilts completed,

7 tops completed,

1 Coat completed with Marijke van Welzen, and

19 + 2 Quilts designed and waiting, no pun intended, in the wings.

Details of our "Hope Project" showing will follow.

Thanks for your support.

To see previously posted quilts, there is a visual grid presentation at the bottom of the Quilts SB page. Move your cursor over any mini-picture found there and click to see an enlargement. Move your cursor to the "Q#" link to see the quilt's details. If the quilt’s title is highlighted in yellow, it has found a home in a collection and is no longer available.

Please let me know if anything on the Blog site does not properly work. I’m always striving to make sure an ease of use.

Two Hallways - Aug 1 to Sep 30, 2018

Good Day,

Our “Two Hallways” exhibit at the Jimmie B. Keel Library at 2902 Bearss Avenue in Tampa has been set up.

It took us approximately 9 hours to place 26 of quilts that we have designed and constructed.

Our Quilts on display were created from 2009 through 2018.

“Two Hallways” will be on exhibit August 1 through and including September 30.

Our Cranes Quilts Update –

Tops for 2 more Cranes Quilts - 11.40 and 12.40 completed.

Now on to creating the quilt sandwich and transferring our quilting design.

Answer - Yes, our Cranes Quilts will not be a part of our current "Two Hallways" exhibit.

"Hope - Our Cranes Project" is scheduled for display early 2019. Details will follow.
