Adrienne Yorinks Quilts

[Jeanette Larson <jlarson@TENET.EDU>]

The Texas Library Association announces that three quilts created by
noted textile artist, Adrienne Yorinks, are available for sale through
an on-line auction at http://www.txla.org/wells/gallery.html.  The
quilts were created as studies for quilts created for STAND FOR CHILDREN
by Marian Wright Edelman (Hyperion, 1998).  These unique illustrations
are created with cotton and vintage fabrics using modern processes of
photo transfer and traditional elements of quilting, a truly American
art form.   Successful bidders will also receive a copy of the book,
STAND FOR CHILDREN courtesy of Hyperion Books for Children.  The quilts
are valued at more than $1,500 each (the quilts that were created for
use in the book are appraised at $3,000-$5,000).  The on-line auction
will accept bids throughout the summer.  Proceeds benefit the Texas
Library Association's Disaster Relief Fund, to help Texas libraries
restore collections after major disasters (floods, tornadoes,
hurricanes, etc.).

Thank you for your support of children's illustration art and the Texas
Library Association.  Bid early and bid often and feel free to pass this
information along to other lists or share it with friends and
colleagues.
