Dirty Dozen Fiber Art Exhibit

Have you made it to see the Dirty Dozen Fiber Artists’ current exhibit, yet?  For those of you in the Melbourne, FL area, there’s still time to do so.  The show continues through August 30th at the Eau Gallie library.

See these two previous posts for lots of images: One and Two.  It’s really worth a stop, I think.

I have three pieces in the show.

Caring

I’m especially proud of this piece, and the others in my Body Language series.  Because they’re mounted on acrylic they’re hard to ship.  Therefore, I’m always happy to have an occasion to show them locally.

Taking Flight

This quilt was made from scraps given to me by Judith Content.  Isn’t she generous?

I’m pretty proud of this one, too.  Mostly because of the courage it took to make it.  I was quilting it when I decided it just wasn’t exciting enough.  I finished quilting it with a radical course in mind.  Eventually, I did some VERY extreme making over to get this result.  You can read about it here.

While you’re checking out art quilt exhibits, you may also want to visit the two currently on display at the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts.  See earlier posts about them.

Lots to see in Melbourne!

    Now that I’ve started using those new stencils I can show you my results.  I started out by over dyeing some of the duds from my previous dyeing session.  Like this one.  Not horrible, but definitely not exciting either.

  • “New” Fabric

    After over dyeing fabrics from previous sessions, my ordered fabric arrived and I jumped at the opportunity to make some “new fabric.”  That is, starting with plain white fabric. I had plans and was excited to implement them! This one was meant to go with a favorite fabric.  Therefore, I repeated the pattern and some of…
