"Clearing the Decks" and "Against the Tide" (each 60" x 24"), and "Rough Copy #13: There" (54" x 34")
One of the things I really love about the third floor gallery at the Pacific Northwest Quilt and Textile Museum is the slanted ceilings which allow the tapestries to hang slightly out from the walls, so they can move with the air and cast shadows in all directions.
"Rough Copy #7: Days Begin" (40" x 18")
Indeed, I was so taken with the dynamic feel of this that I mostly took videos rather than still photos, completly forgetting that I can't post them here--
for why else do I take photos if not to share them with you?

The show itself is lovely.
I can't thank the staff and volunteers at Pacific Northwest Quilt and Textile Museum enough for their kindness, generosity and the glorious job they did hanging the work.
Do visit if you have a chance - and be sure to check out the fantastic thread drawings of Kristin Loffer Theiss on the first floor, and also her website and the video of her drawing with her sewing machine.
One of the best things about exhibitions of course, is the joy of getting see, and even have the odd conversation with friends, old and new, who made the huge effort to come to the reception..
I can't thank you all enough.
I also got to spend extra time with extraordinary artist and friend, Carolyn Doe
and the marvelous Rebecca Mezoff , tapestry weaver and teacher who flew all the way from Colorado so we could share our delight (and ideas and techniques and gossip) about this marvelous thing we happen to do.
My heart is filled with Gleeful Gratitude.

ps -- The air b and b cabin I rented was heavenly,
and the rocks on the shore did not seem to mind me gathering, arranging and then returning them to the beach (I try to be a catch and release rock collector).
Or if they did mind, they were polite about it.
