I have been sewing for 30 years. Now, don't let that number fool you, I am in my thirties (I started sewing very, very, young). When I was 15 I started quilting because no one would make one for me. *grin* (Hooked myself on quilting ever since!!!) In 1995 I earned my degree in graphic arts/illustration. I do more traditional type art when the mood strikes me but I am first & foremost a Textile Artist.
I love the movement you have going. It will be fun to see how you finish it up.
