I am racing to get you some content before I head off for, essentially, a week and half of work travel, and (YAY!!) vacation. I won’t be able, probably, to post much during the work travel as I will be in a conference all day and then enjoying good food and drink with friends. We’ll see how the Internet connection is in the conference center this year. Perhaps I’ll be able to post some clips.<\/p>\n

I have been thinking of viewing artworks in every day life and surrounding myself with artworks, lately. I looked at the back wall of my office this week and said to myself\u00a0 “huh! that quilt has been there for 4 years; time for a change.” Then I went into my Assistant Librarian’s office, saw two more quilts and decided that one of them also needed to be changed out.<\/p>\n

Feelin’ Blue, Too<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This quilt has been on her wall for awhile and she really likes it. She says it has a calming effect on her. It is the second in a series of quilts in the JAJ Bullseye Project. In each round, the three quiltmakers,\u00a0 Julie Zaccone Stiller<\/a>, Adrienne Acoba<\/a> and I each makes one quilt in the agreed upon color scheme. In this case, blue. This quilt was shown at 2005 Marin Quilt & Needle Arts Show.<\/p>\n

You can read more about how to make a bullseye quilt here<\/a>. I am sure there are other directions on the web and in books. You can also see my most recent attempt, a quilt top (not a quilt yet), in the series here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the quilt on display in my A.L.’s office. You get to see the trappings of our (well, her in this case) work. I could have cropped them out, but thought you might enjoy the quilt in context.<\/p>\n

\"FOTY<\/a>
FOTY 2008, on display<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is the full view of FOTY 2008 (although I think you have seen it 12 times in the past 2 weeks, right?)\u00a0 hanging in my A.L.’s office. She has a much bigger office than I do, and I have my degrees hanging on the only other available wall for art, so she gets two quilts and I get one.<\/p>\n

\"FOTY<\/a>
FOTY 2008 in context<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is the quilt in context. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to change out the quilts sooner, but it didn’t. My quilts were rejected for display in the public parts of the office, because the Art Committee couldn’t get past the ‘craft.’ Instead they chose some baby puke brown paintings that I wouldn’t hang on my street much less in my house. I am probably bitter and don’t understand the concept. \ud83d\ude09 Now the quilts are up on walls I control and on display for all to view. I am happy.<\/p>\n

I have to run off and do some stuff, like laundry, so I will post the quilt in my office later or tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
