I had a wonderful time at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, NY teaching my Patterns, Skins and Stitch class. The very skilled and creative students were eager to experiment. The Schweinfurth has the BEST classroom space for stitching classes. A huge sewing room with extra supplies if needed, separate tables and design boards for each stitcher. Wow! The days passed quickly and a new brood of beasts were born.
Meanwhile the Herd show was beginning to take shape in the rooms next to our classroom.
The International Quilt Museum leant my piece, Round and Round it Goes, for the show (pictured here at left above) with the backdrop of my Dark Matter wallpaper shipped to us from Area Environments.
It is so exciting to see my work all together in one space. The gallery space at the Schweinfurth is huge and we managed to fill it up. The Herd show has traveled to Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN, The International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, NE and now at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, NY. I’ll be speaking at the Schweinfurth on December 6, 2026. The folks at the Schweinfurth will be creating a walk through video of the show in the next week or so for those who cannot make it to the Auburn location.
The beasts themselves will be sold, raffled and decommissioned this time. I am on to some new series.
