Just signed the petition and it is on the QuiltArt yahoo group so many people will see it. I have painted, done woodburning, and now mostly quilting. When do I get to be an artist? Well, I call myself an artist but not sure the people in the government would recognize it because my work doesn't sell for tons of dollars. But I know for a fact that I have work in,at least, seven different countries because of who bought it or where it was sent. Am I not an international artist then, Not the caliber of a Kate Cox but if I live three more centuries maybe, LOL Ann the traveling quilter now back in Minneapolis.
