I’M FEATURED IN QUILTING ARTS MAGAZINE’S FALL ISSUE
Quilting Arts magazine asked me to write about my career in quilting. The article is included — along with a lot of my art – in "From Quilter to Artist: My Career … So Far” in the Fall 2026 issue, on newsstands now. (That's Luana Rubin’s amazing bear on the cover.)

I’M EXHIBITING WITH SOUL STORIES
I recently joined an international group artists called Soul Stories. “Soul Stories artists use textile art as a vehicle for personal expression, social reflection, and collective healing. We weave themes of identity, justice, resilience, myths, archetypes, and spirituality into our work, balancing hope and fear, beauty and struggle.” Its first exhibition, “Threads of Existence,” was shown first at International Quilt Festival in Houston in November 2025. My pieces “Midnight in the Garden” or "Plight of the Swifts" will tour with the exhibition in 2026-28, to these venues:

AMERICA'S TAPESTRY – I HELPED!
I was honored to be one of nearly 2000 volunteers who participated in the making "America's Tapestry." Gail Smith organized the North Carolina stitchers who made NC's panel. (I painted the background, including the courthouse, sky and trees.)
“America's Tapestry features 13 hand embroidered panels, one for each of the original colonies. The embroidery was carried out by volunteers from ages of 5 to 96 from New Hampshire to Georgia. The panels illustrate stories of individual contributions – many overlooked – that reveal each colony's struggle for independence. Historical associations from across the states collaborated on the panels' imagery and generously hosted the stitchers as they worked.”
The NC panel features the 1774 "Edenton Tea Party, “one of the earliest recorded instances of organized political action by women in the American colonies. This group of 51 women authored and signed a resolution to boycott British goods, including tea and textiles, leveraging their economic agency to make a political statement.”
“America’s Tapestry: 13 Colonies. 13 Stories. 1 Nation.” is on view now until September 6, 2026, at the Muscarelle Museum of Art in Williamsburg, Virginia. https://www.americastapestry.com

YOU HELPED ME RAISE $7K FOR WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My friends and followers have contributed nearly $7,800 so far to World Central Kitchen. I offered a free pattern for this sunflower pin, and asked folks to contribute what they could to this organization, which is feeding refugees from Ukraine and those who remain in Ukraine. WCK has an excellent charity rating, and helps hungry people in crisis due to war and environmental disasters around the globe. You can still download the pattern here: https://susanbrubakerknapp.com/tutorials
