SAQA Central Oregon Pod used the recent IQA Houston show as a springboard for a spirited discussion about why we enter juried shows and what we think of the judging.
Responses to why we enter shows ranged from: to see how our work compares to others, to wanting recognition for our work to promote it and ourselves professionally, to educate ourselves and others. Perhaps the best comment was “I love to see quilts and quilt shows…se we better participate or they will disappear.”
Central Oregon will not meet in December.
Our January meeting, Thursday the 21st will be a special demonstration of de colorant at Helen Brisson’s studio. There will be a morning and afternoon workshop, with both groups meeting for a potluck lunch in between. More information on the Meetings and Events page.
