One of two my free style quilts I submitted at ArtMarket Gallery Downtown Boston at the end of May was selected for a display.
I forgot all about it after I dropped the application, a copy of the receipt of entry fee and two photos of the quilts on May 28th.
On Saturday morning as I was getting ready to go out to run I saw a flyer of the event under a coffee table. The opening the event sticking out between a stack of fabric under a coffee table. I looke at the date and realized the exhibiton wwould be on Sunday, 6/7/2009. I figured that my work didn't make it since I didn't hear anything from them.
I wrote an email anyway to Enrique Florendo, the owner/organizer of the gallery wondering if they had received my application.
When I got home around noon, I had an email from Enrique. He wrot: "Call me."
When I called him, he said he wasn't at his computer but he remembered that one of my quilts had been selected. But I didn't hear anything from you, I told him. We sent you an email he said. He told to call him at 4:00 pm for further instruction.
To make a long , boring story short, I brought in the quilt on Sunday afternoon, a few hours before the opening. My dear friends Ginny, Lauren and Lucretia were there for moral support. Thank you, ladies.
Nina,
The quilts is too small for Milla now, but I'm glad she still sleeps with it.

kakak you quilts are all gorgeous! Milla sleeps with the one you gave her, when she was a baby, every night. She loves it!
Well done for being selected to display. I know your quilts come from your heart - that is what's most important!
