Just as I am discovering all the wonders of fabric art (see Shows Worth Seeing: "Hardware" at the Target Gallery) it seems the US government is as well. The US Post Office just put out a set of commemorative stamps based on a fabric art exhibit last year at the Corcoran Gallery in DC. The exhibit American Treasures: Gee's Bend Quilts documented the work of the Gee's Bend sewing bee, a group of African-American women in Gee's Bend, North Carolina.

They look beautiful! And they'll be on my holiday cards this year! Along with the Muppets!
thanks Mike for your comments on my work. I'm still working in a number of different directions, trying to find my 'visual voice' so to speak, so feedback is really appreciated (both positive and 'constructive') :D
