It is organized by Dinner At Eight Artists, lead by Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison. The special exhibit will debut at the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach, CA - July 22-25th at the Long Beach Convention Center. It is sponsored by Moore's Sewing Centers and Brother International.
My piece is called St. Pete Memories/Pamyat' O Pitere/Память О Питере. It is constructed from from my family letters, my grandmother's medical records, a family photo and family linens.

Beautiful work, congratulations! Wish I could see it and appreciate it in person.
congrats. i like your use of family materials. wish my brain could be replaced and upgraded!
I love this piece. It's so evocative; even though I can't read a word in these letters, they conjure up memories of the thin paged notes from my grandmother. Thsi is an excellent piece. The exhibit is sure to be a great one with pieces like this in it.
