Anybody get Selvedge magazine? I need the current issue, only one page if
you're willing to rip it out for me. I subscribe on-line which is a less than
efficient way to get it, but at the current subscription rate of $90 a year, at
least more affordable. However, I cannot save, cut and paste, or even print
from the online provider. Well, I COULD print if my printer was operable.
Never mind. ANYway, I was spending my Sunday morning perusing the issue (scroll
up, scroll down, click forward, zoom in, zoom out, scroll up, scroll down...turn
the page...repeat...) and by accident came across the ad for the Birmingham
Quilt Festival, the SAQA ad for the Transformations show. They are illustrating the
ad with my quilt, whatta surprise! Need that page! Don't want to spend $12 on
a copy! Anybody get it?
So I was whining to some friends about this and one of them went to see the plans for
the 'Festival of Quilts' show and sure enough, there is the picture again (though somewhat squashed. You have to scroll 2/3rds of the way down the very long page. But wow, this looks like a heluva show- imagine me and Dorothy Caldwell in the same city, let alone the same building. Good thing I am not there, bet she wouldn't appreciate me fawning over her.
The rest of the day I have worked on the small collage with the Australian kids in the trees, I've read the NYTs magazine and decided that I must be careful about what I divulge in this blog lest I lose my private life and have people talk to me on the street- fat chance. Since I turned about 50, I am invisible- completely utterly transparent and ignorable. The only upside I can see to this is that I could be a great shoplifter if I were so inclined. Too bad Winona didn't just wait a few years. Please understand I DO NOT shoplift, but I know I could at any point.
OK, so I did once take a candy bar from the drug store when I was 10 or 11, but then I wasn't invisible at all and I got caught!
And the rest of the day I have been basting the surprise project pieces together for the show next weekend. Speaking of invisible, I do an invisible hanging that works great on several related pieces and I will detail it for you in an upcoming post. I have pictures up through today's stopping point but will get a few more and also show you the completed project.

LOL - I constantly have idle and scurrilous fantasies about what the Invisible Woman can get away with! My best bud and I constantly push the limits of appropriate public behavior when we go out on the town. Here's one for you. Next time you are in the multiplex theater and feel like sampling the other shows just take a stroll for yourself. NO ONE WILL CHALLENGE THE INVISIBLE WOMAN!!! You should see us at the fragrance counter in the Neiman Marcus spraying the soles of our feet with with Eau De Money...
