They hadn't (this is now eight days since I asked them to correct it). <br /><br />I conferred with some other artists in my group and they agreed it would be OK to cross out the wrong name and write in the correct name on the signs. So I did.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-15819164675544976872013-06-23T11:53:45.246-04:002013-06-23T11:53:45.246-04:00Overlapping a photo is one thing -- overlapping a ...Overlapping a photo is one thing -- overlapping a quilt is several continents worse.

Good for you for asking them to fix them. Unfortunately, I can relate to the photo overlap--they did that to my quilt in a local quilt exhibition--overlapped a friend's quilt and mine to fit them on the same wall--they were both "art quilts" so it made sense?! Neither of us will be entering the show again.Elizabethhttp://www.elizabethbrandt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-89372502184787327262013-06-20T21:01:25.154-04:002013-06-20T21:01:25.154-04:00I did, and they changed the signs.

I do understand and commiserate with you on the name issue. I don't have a nickname but people have to pay attention to spell my name correctly. They also have to reframe from shortening my last name which they often do and then misspell that! Attention to detail is the only solution for this particular issue. The clips are a different story altogether. I can not understand why a gallery which looked very nice otherwise would resort to this resolution to their problem. Many of the hanging systems are very limited as to how they work but no venue I've worked with has resorted to metal clips to get the job done. Better luck next time.Terry Jarrard-Dimondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709683518897702916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-22438962830020610862013-06-19T09:29:55.443-04:002013-06-19T09:29:55.443-04:00Oh, oh!

If it gets accepted I will see if it can be changed.<br /><br />BTW the exhibit look fabulous, with or without clips.Norma Schlagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979046682608968891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-88691721174975001222013-06-19T08:55:45.997-04:002013-06-19T08:55:45.997-04:00Well, it certainly looks like 'someone' be...Well, it certainly looks like 'someone' better get their 'ducks in a row'! I can see where all of this occurring in one week would get you quacking! Maybe change your name on your artwork to 'Kathy' and future exhibits/etc. will use Kathleen!
