One tapestry that will not have to go through the mail is my own. It is inspired by a photograph I took from my husband's tiny airplane, over Block Island. I am working diligently to finish it. (this is a detail)

What fun, to get actual tapestries in the mail! I have always just received images and paperwork, but that was exciting enough. I plan to send mine your way this week.
Congratulations, Jan! Lots of work to be done with all of this show -- you've really only scratched the surface, as you know. But it's such an important exhibit concept and wonderful that it's in such a state of vitality all these years after it began!
I agree. I think the original It's about time! had either 97 or 103. I need to pull out my catalogues and count just for the fun of it.
definitely kudos and applause for the job your doing! It's nice to know the concept is still vital and thriving after all these years!
I will be so excited to get the catalog...and jealous of those sho get to see the beauty in person.
Thanks Jan! And holy guacamole! 16 days! I had better get on it. I actually wove this little tapestry years ago but never finished it (and it is nothing like my other work--you won't recognize it as mine I suspect... though could be wrong). So I have to do all the finishing and get it ready for mounting. Today!
Wow, lots of works! I hope all the tapestries arrive in time
Hurray! I'm an entrant from Saskatchewan! I sure hope mine gets in on time. This has been a learning adventure for me. Looking forward to seeing all the entries!
It's very exciting seeing the tapestries arrive, and opening the packages is like Christmas every day! I was quite thrilled to have an entry from Saskatchewan!
