Misc. Past Items
-
22 of Salli McQuaid's
quilts were on view at the 2008 Chama (New Mexico) Outdoor Quilt Show,
June 14, 2008. It was a wonderful show, with many fine quilts on display.
They were hung from buildings up and down the charming, historical main street. Quilts for sale
were in an open-face tent. Show quilts occupied a vacated supermarket that
caved in under the weight of snow last winter. Fortunately, the roof had been
restored, and a handy new restaurant now occupies half the space.
- Salli McQuaid's The Kiss (Cosmic Illusion #8)
was on view at a virtual
exhibition November 2007-2008. This exhibition was guest-curated
by k. velis turan for www.SAQA.com.
- McQuaid served as a quilt
angel at the Houston International Quilt Festival in November (2007). Here,
she presented the grand sweepstakes winning entry "Hope for our
World," by Textile Artist Hollis Chatelain, to enthralled crowds.
"I really got to know and love
the piece," said McQuaid. "The crowd helped me, and I helped them
(appreciate the work). I truly enjoyed the experience."
- McQuaid's Winter Wave
(Cosmic Illusion #5) was auctioned off November 2, 2007, at the
Alliance Francaise to benefit The Revels theatre troupe of Houston.
Private collection.
- Hawaiian Blue (...#2)
and To a Garden (...#3) were accepted to the
"Windows" exhibition at The Gallery of St. Johns, Kingston, NY, also
in November of 2007.

Momentary Setback
 In
May of 2007 I underwent hip replacement surgery. Recovery until I could
again work took about three months, so I am somewhat behind. As a
result, I'm filling this space with some small completed projects and
new ideas. My energy is almost all back now, and I'm only experiencing
slight physical difficulties. Full recovery is expected in November, so
I'm ahead of schedule there!
I regard this operation as a blessing, as I
would have been in a wheelchair for the rest of my life without it. I wish
to express my thanks to Dr. Gregory Stocks, of Houston, who performed
the procedure with his customary and acclaimed expertise. 7/07
