The trade is made

I met the artist Raegan Little this past weekend and we swapped our art pieces.  It turns out she is not a young artist but has been working on her BFA for eight years while working and raising a family.  RESPECT!  Her call to exchange art on Instagram is her final project.  Such a clever idea!

Seeing Raegan's hanky embroidered with the word Panky really did make me laugh out loud.  I chose a vintage quilt block embroidered by Aunt Pat in response to Raegan's piece.  I embroidered LOL in sparkly threads liking the contradictory styles.  

This was a fun way for me to use and honour the work of Aunt Pat.  I think she would be thrilled to know that her work is hanging in an art gallery at U of W.  Thanks to my sweet cousin Laurie for gifting me with this treasure.
