Those Crazy Vikings!
Just kidding, opera has nothing to do with the Husqvarna Exhibit. In truth, she will be hanging on a wall somewhere in a quilt called The Robbery in the Lingerie Boutique that you may have seen me working on earlier this year. After I sent in my entry, I started to think that there was no way it would be accepted. I thought maybe they were only looking for pretty or beautiful quilts, but I guess those Vikings have a sense of humor too!
I can't post a photo of the finished quilt until the exhibit opens in November, but I must thank you for all your comments and puns that helped inspire me in writing my 75 word artist's statement I had to submit with the entry. It actually became a mini news release that fit the action-packed story in the quilt very well. So thanks again.
On another note, don't you think PaMdora looks good in costume? It's always a challenge to work with her peculiar anatomy, but maybe I should make up some more costumes for her. Reminds me of this artist I saw on Myra's blog who has made a paper doll game that is very fun. I wish I knew how to make an internet game like that for you, but I don't so I may have to make one in a quilt version.

Congrats Pam! Yay You! And I love the illustration of Pamdora as a confused-looking Viking. :-)
OH My Goodness, Pam... PamDora finally shows 2 boobs!!!
Congrats on getting in the challenge... I'm still working on the piece I wanted to enter this year...
Congratulations! Of course they accepted your entry. Your quilts are so wonderful and unique! And PaMdora looks mighty fine in costume. :)
Congrats! It was funny! Of course they accepted it!!!
Gotta tell you that I unconsciously name dropped your nomen at VQF this weekend. Saw a copy of the QN book, and opened up to your work and told my husband about how you were so excited that it got a double spread. I was just psyched for you, and feeling very 'in the know', but folks near me stopped, looked at the book and looked at me - stunned! Talk about reflected glory! Thanks for that moment!
I luv the Viking chick! I use a Viking myself (it's in the blood). Looks like she was made for the pointy boob outfit and you know braids have been making a bit of a come-back in the past few years!
Congratulations, Pam. Are you one of those quilt show regulars like Melody? Your work is so unique, you deserve to be in anything you want to.
I have a question. Why is it that you can't post a picture of your finished quilt until the show starts? Even on the blog? I don't understand the exclusivity of these quilt venues.
