I’m having my first art show — Functional Art: Quilts & Garments.
At the Art Lab Studios & Gallery in Parrsboro NS (2 hours from Halifax).
I had a difficult time deciding which quilts to put into the exhibition – in the end I chose 10 showing a range of work over three years. I also included three jackets and two shirts illustrating wearable art.
Although the gallery is small there was plenty of space to showcase the quilts and garments and the room was popping with colour when we finished hanging the works, yesterday.
There’s a story behind each of the pieces. I will get to talk about that tonight when I go back for the opening. I’m looking forward to seeing reactions and hearing comments.

I love that black one with the squares of colour.
That’s the one I use every day! It’s on the chair in my bedroom where I knit and watch TV! I love it, too!
I can see why. Now i am thinking about how to replicate it with a dark dark blue
The blocks are squares with sashing (that matches the background fabric). When I’d finished laying out all the blocks and a sewn them, I skewed the array about 30° and trimmed it square again – so sizeable triangles came off each side and end. It might not have been 30° – it might have just been 20° – something like that. That’s what gives the layout that odd angle.
Beautiful pieces! You did put up a lot more stuff then 😊. Well done over the years!

Congratulations Judith. How wonderful. I love the pieces and wish I could be there! xo
Congratulations! You are an inspiration to me, and a show of your work seems to be a perfect way to spread the joy. Good for you!
Do I have to call you Madame Artiste now?
Of course!
Sounds like a good milestone.
I’m so excited for you! I love your quilts and can understand your “dilemma” in choosing which items to exhibit. Maybe you’ll have to return in the future with the items that didn’t make this show!
Beautiful! So deserving.
