Stevens Consulting Curator, Contemporary Textiles The Textile Museum, Washington, D.C. Art Quilt X, Chandler Center for the Arts, Chandler, AZ 2006 Review: Art Quilt X: Narrative, Figurative, Abstract and Post Modern by Thelma Smith, SAQA 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."
