Review by Thelma Smith, Studio Art Quilt Associates' Newsletter:
At first glance, Correspondence: Joyful Lives by Virginia A. Spiegel was a joyous collection of studio sweepings, but is was sneaky and deceptive. It pulled me in, demanding that I keep shortening my viewing focal length. It was insistent, and I realized how intentionally the artwork was arranged and how powerfully the thought was expressed.
