Food Truck Rally

What was the Susanne Woods Exhibit at Quiltcon 2022: "Susanne Woods was an early advocate for and leader of the MQG. Serving on the board of directors for six years, in addition to her full-time publishing career, Susanne's guidance was invaluable. Like so many quilters, Susanne's passing in 2020 left stacks of projects unfinished. This exhibit features many of those quilts, which were lovingly finished by members of the local guild started by Susanne. Discover this sliver of Susanne's legacy, and the stories of finishing the quilts from members of her guild."

Artist Statement: "For this quilt I received 7 food truck blocks designed and pieced by Susanne. After giving it some thought I decided that the food trucks would be at a park, and because ice cream trucks are clearly the best kind of food truck, that truck should have a line of ballerinas ditching class for ice cream. Only one ballerina stayed in class because for her, dance is life!

I really enjoyed the process of designing and piecing this quilt. The whole time I was working on it, it felt like I was actually collaborating with Susanne. I feel like the final quilt is fun and whimsical, and true to the spirit of the food truck blocks Susanne made. I think she would have liked it."
