SEFAA has a wonderful show every year called the Square Foot Art Show. It reminds me so much of so many of our challenges. It's free to enter, so have a look and really consider sending something in! The gallery is in Chamblee, not a bad drive from Athens, and they have wonderful exhibitions, so go when you can!

It's fun, it's free, and you should enter!

Put this on your calendar!

I have spent the weekend prepping 13 quilts to head to Atlanta for the solo exhibition From the Beginning Until Now—Two Decades of Quilts. These quilts will be on view at the Southeast Fiber Arts Alliance from mid-January until the end of February. I hope you will considering visiting the show while you are at QuiltCon. I will be giving an Artist Talk on Saturday, February 25 from 6PM-8PM at the gallery. I am also teaching a live and in person workshop Game of Improv there February 18,19,and 20, 2023. It is going to be a lot of fun, and I hope to see you there!
