Talk to the folks at the Brush Gallery and/or Whistler House for ideas or possibly a showing that would get the pieces seen as art rather than craft. And, of course, be sure to put them on your website and maybe promote them to your mailing list. Collectors want to have a 'connection' to what they purchasee, so be sure to include the story behind the pieces you are selling.
Thanks ghostridder! As a personal note We all took a bus down to the MFA where Gerald Roy very kindly gave us a two hour plus tour of the exhibit! His totally different way of looking at quilts and the stories that went with the quilts. By the time we arrived at the last quilt, the room was packed with all the people trying to hear what he was saying! Fun afternoon if you get there!
