Stitchalicious a Success!

One week ago I installed my thesis exhibition Stitchalicious. The install went so smoothly thanks to a great team of friends! I passed the orals and am now a proud bearer of a Master of Fine Arts degree! Yippeee! Now it's time to search for jobs... Here are a few photos from the exhibition, taken by Becky Stern.




After the opening reception, my friends and I celebrated with an after party at beautiful Cafe Boa on Mill Avenue in Tempe. They all surprised me with gorgeous cupcakes from Sprinkles Cupcakes. It was a perfect end to a perfect evening.



If you would like to check out more images from the opening you can visit Arizona Foothills Magazine and also the Craft Zine Blog

Thanks to everybody who made it out to see the show! And a special thanks to all my friends and family for your support and encouragement.

Preparing to Install "Stitchalicious"


This is what I have left to do.


My little box of installation supplies.

It is almost time to install my thesis exhibition. I am so excited! Things are coming together quite well. I am crossing more and more items off my list and starting to pack up my little box of installation tools, which includes scented room sprays from Bath and Body Works and beautiful pink pins. I felt so excited this morning in my studio that I had to put on a little Wanda Jackson and dance around, while looking through all my boxes to make sure I have enough art for the space.


I think I will be okay.
