The SAQA online silent auction has almost ended week 1.   Results have been marvellous, and the few quilts remaining at the close of this phase today at 1-59pm will then be available for the next couple of months through the SAQA online bookshop/store. 

Buying one of these small works is a good way to begin an art quilt collection, and some collectors come back and buy a piece every year.  It’s one only work per artist, so I hope someone reeeeeally wants mine, making my contribution worth as much as posssible. … buy today and it go for $750 which would be marvellous…. The  group of quilts containing my work   “Timetracks 12”   (page 2b, scroll down to row 10/14)   begins today at 2pm Eastern USA time.

Studio Art Quilts Associates activities focus on raising the profile of this art medium with galleries and the art collecting public through curated exhibitions of all kinds, in the US and internationally, when possible with catalogues; and regular publications of members’ work in book and digital form.   Members are scattered around the world, and Aussie members have been well represented in SAQA exhibitions.
