I'm not sure about the airport...I think if I could actually convince the person to meet me and SEE the pieces, it would be a different thing. <br /><br />I think that once again the "q" word gets us..."My grandmother used to quilt..." and if I hear one more traditional quilt block being described as "Amish" (a PR piece on the Quilt Barns of Miami County (OH) described the quilt as being <br />Amish Blocks" even though as far as I know, Rafael Arroyo (I think is the artist) is the only one who actually paints patterns into the "fabrics" of the blocks and quilt blocks are quilt blocks. No offense to Miami County's German Baptist and Old Order populations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140675211931598431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325768748891153243.post-25249032372825073292012-06-07T05:05:51.650-07:002012-06-07T05:05:51.650-07:00How disappointing that both the NQA and the airpor...How disappointing that both the NQA and the airport dropped the ball on the opportunity to show these fabulous quilts.

And even more interesting by the division into two or three pieces. Great job! You are helping introduce the public to fiber art if they can get past the preconceived notions of a "quilt." <br />Martha GinnMartha Ginnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773955965856508089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325768748891153243.post-55438838618014845392012-06-05T09:58:09.454-07:002012-06-05T09:58:09.454-07:00Thanks.

I am waiting to hear the exact dates from one of our members about showing in a local church's gallery, before going to the Dayton Metro Library in the fall. I contacted NQA about showing it, but they didn't make a decision quickly enough...and I finally pulled the plug and put it in at the Schuster during their showing of "Wicked." <br /><br />NQA did ask me to "remind them next year" but since I contacted them in Dec., and as of the middle of May hadn't determined whether they would use them or not....I had to make the decision of what to do next, as "Wicked" is a large show drawing lots of people.<br /><br />Ronnie Doyal suggested auctioning them (each "image" with all its slices) and then donating the money to a local arts group. The board and the membership have to discuss that, but I think that's a splendid idea. Dayton Airport has some exhibition spaces, which would also make sense for a local show, but unfortunately, they never got back to me....I think the word "quilt" sort of puts people off...and they don't understand this concept at all anyway. Even the Schuster kept on calling them "banners." I think we finally got it across when they saw it hung.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140675211931598431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325768748891153243.post-52776977136661926492012-06-05T09:46:02.615-07:002012-06-05T09:46:02.615-07:00These are wonderful!

However, it has been my experience that because it requires a group decision, it may take months. Perhaps you might have a display at the library. Our library is always open to such things + + + the decision making involves fewer people.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641784755031491045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325768748891153243.post-28336611933355485142012-06-05T09:14:29.518-07:002012-06-05T09:14:29.518-07:00Makes me miss Dayton--we lived there for 15 years....Makes me miss Dayton--we lived there for 15 years.
