Only today with Social Media!

I made the piece May I Have This Dance from a copyright free photo I found on the internet. I had no idea who the dancers were, just that the shot was a perfect capture of that elegant intimate moment of the Tango. I love all forms of dance, having taken Ballet for many years when I was young at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. Oh, what wonderful memories. I still have dance in my heart.

May I Have This Dance won best of show at Fiber Arts Fiesta 2024 in New Mexico. I then decided to enter it along with She into Text on Textiles a special exhibition at Houston International Quilt Show. Both will be displayed From October 30 - November 3 at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Th International quilt Festival posted May I have this Dance on their Facebook Page. It was liked by over 1.6K, with 95 comments and 208 Shares. One surprising comment came all the way from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was the male dancer in the photo who recognized himself in the piece and a day later the female dancer also commented. Something like this could only happen with the social media we have today making it truly a very small world.
