I just heard from the Art in Embassies program folks that my quilt, Warp Weft Rift will be returning soon from Islamabad. Wow – long time no see! How nice of them to contact me to explain how they’d be shipping it and when. I feel very honored to have been included in the display at the Embassy.
This is the longest any of my quilts has been away from home and certainly the most distance one has traveled. I remember when my 911 quilt came home after a few years how interesting it was to look at. I’d not had it very long before it travelled to Houston and then on to other places. I was lucky to be able to go to the Roots of Racism exhibit premiere in Memphis TN in September 2000. That seems like a long time ago… I’ll look forward to meeting my quilt again.
