Do You Ever See Art Quilts Honored On Television?
There are lots of television shows that honor paintings and sculpture, but it is rare to see art quilts even mentioned, so it was a delight when I was watching the Sunday Morning Show on CBS September 4 when they featured quilt artist Susan Madden as an artist in residence in Mesa Verde National Park. Video and Article If the video doesn't play for you, you can try to scroll down to find the link on its page and click on it. Some times it played for me and sometimes it didn't. At the end of the vignettes on The Sunday Morning Show, they always show a sun created by an artist. I sent them an image of a quilted sun I made several years ago and they showed mine several times. It was a thrill to see it on National TV.
It is for sale on my website. It is one of my early quilts that I did when I taught a workshop on how to to do zendoodling and painting on fabric for my art group. It would be a nice artwork to hang in a child's bedroom. And it led to me writing an article for Quilting Arts Magazine in their June/July 2012 Issue. It's nice to see that art quilts are expanding off the pages of magazines and onto the screens of television. I'm linking this to Off The Wall Friday where you can find other art quilt blogs. Please leave a comment on their posts so that the artists know you stopped by. Thanks for visiting.

I am particularly pleased that it was a landscape quilt that was featured! Love your sun - it would be perfect in a child's room!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could apply for artist in residence to that same location that she did!
DeleteNational tv! I would say you have arrived! Congratulations :-) I would be n cloud 9. It does look a lot like the sun they use
ReplyDeleteYou can do it, too. Make a sun, photograph it, and send the photo to their website. They used mine almost immediately. I think they are looking for sun image art all the time. But they don't credit the artist.
DeleteThat sun is just delightful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenny.
DeleteI saw that segment on Sunday. I always enjoy seeing the various suns at the end of each segment and thought that they must have someone on staff who designed them. Who knew that they were sent in by different artists. Did they let you know that yours would be used and when it would be shown?
ReplyDeleteYour sun is terrific. I can see why they did use it.
Yes, I asked them to email me and they emailed me the morning it would be shown. I was glad that I was home that morning or I would have missed it.
Deletethat is one happy quilt. It's got to be very exciting to see your work on TV. I watch that show and just adore all the ways to make a sun. LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to see it on TV. One Sunday, several months later, it popped up again unexpectedly. I don't watch the show regularly, so I don't know how many times it has been on.
