An Exquisite Moment to debut in Long Beach!  View this email in your browser

Experience "An Exquisite Moment" in Long Beach!  Among the exhibits debuting at this year's Quilt Festival in Long Beach is "An Exquisite Moment," a diverse and inspiring collection of quilts from Dinner at Eight Artists, and curated by Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison. Each quilt in the exhibit offers the artist's interpretation or representation of one of life's "exquisite moments" (a personal milestone, the birth of a child, the realization of a dream, a moment shared with a lover or friend, a treasured memory) in 24" x 60" format. While the common theme (and size) ties the collection together, the quilts vary significantly in terms of style and technique. So, Festival attendees get a chance to see how a single idea can inspire a multitude of differing, incredible works. See the complete list of participating artists on the Dinner at Eight Artists blog. Special thanks to exhibit sponsor Moore's Sewing Centers.

An Exquisite Moment - Acceptances!

 "An Exquisite Moment"  Consider the following:  The unfurling of a flower. A hummingbird in flight.  A magical moment shared with a lover or friend.  The birth of a child.  A personal milestone.  The realization of a dream.  A treasured memory.  The sacred moments of the ordinary.  These are the Exquisite Moments that make us who we are.
