Brazil’s “Patchwork Design” show
Over the past several years, a number of CQA artists have
been invited as individuals to participate in the annual "Patchwork
Design" show that starts in Sao Paulo, Brazil and then travels to Rio de Janeiro. Visitors at the shows voted
for their favorites among the CQA pieces, and the 2-3 artists whose pieces
received the most votes were invited to attend the subsequent year’s events as
guests of the show organizers.
The lucky winners from the 2012 event were Sonia Grasvik,
who this year traveled to the Sao Paulo show
(March 14-16, 2013), and Helen Remick and Marianne Burr, who will attend the Rio show (April 25-27, 2013).

In advance of the 2013 show, CQA was invited to participate
as a group so that entry was open to all members. A panel within CQA nominated
the entries to be submitted to the show organizers, who juried the submissions
and made the final selection of artists and quilts for this international show.
Three pieces were selected from each exhibiting artist,
including new work from Grasvik, Remick and Burr. Other CQA members included in
the 2013 show are: Colleen Wise, Mary Arnold, Jill Scholtens, Bonnie Bucknam,
Debi Harney, Melisse Laing, Lynne Rigby, Louise Harris, Marylee Drake, Patti
Bleifuss, Cathy Erickson, Ruth Vincent, Donna Hudson and Bonnie Brewer.
