Betty Ann Seeman had one of her quilts, An Unaffacted Grace, exhibited at the Houston International Quilt Festival.  It was the first time one of her quilts had been accepted and she was quite thrilled to see it hanging there.  Here, Betty Ann talks about how it felt and offers encouragement for others who might need a little help.

Here is a little bit of background on her quilt from Betty Ann:

"Grace began with a pencil sketch study of flowing lines. I usually find a name for a my quilts during the creation process, not so with this quilt. When It was finished I looked up NATURAL in the thesaurus. "An Unaffected Grace" was a phrase suggested. My Grandmother, a quilt maker, was named Grace. The thought of Grandma's name on my quilt made me smile.

The low tech pencil sketch was scanned into high tech computer where I was able to decide on value placement before cutting one bit of fabric. The quilt is also embellished with original designed bead trim."
