It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, stating &#8220;I believe she was talking about being true to your voice and your instinct, filtering out the xternal advice of the voices around you.&#8221; Katie had the difficult task of selecting just 25 artists and 50 pieces from the many submitted to the exhibit.\u00a0 Katie states she was looking for &#8220;two great works from each artist &#8230; I hope that the pieces that I chose will show the world that our art quilts can compete side-by-side with paintings for the eye of art collectors and art admirers
