The art dolls at the recent Timeless Treasures quilt show were EXTRAORDINARY! As a matter of fact, the word “doll” does most of them an injustice. They’re more like fabric sculptures with A LOT of attitude! Just look at these two free-standing roosters, made by Vonda Frenes. DO click on the image for a much […]

My local art quilt group, the Dirty Dozen Fiber Artists, were honored to be invited to have a display of our work at the recent Timeless Treasures quilt show, held in Melbourne, FL. Called “Perspectives,” it included a diverse collection of subjects, techniques, (and yes,) perspectives. The exhibit looked fantastic under the stage lights (although […]
For my “Around the Neighborhood” reception, I needed to hang an abundance of quilts without making holes in my walls. My first task was to find hanging slats for each piece. Since I have a bunch of these already cut, I was able to mix and match and I only had to cut a few more. […]
I staged my “Around the Neighborhood” exhibit in my own home. That meant removing some quilts that didn’t fit the theme, and adding others in their places. It took some mental gymnastics to figure out what would fit (and look good) where, what hanging slat to use with what, what needed to have new holes […]

Even with these out-of-focus photos, I think you can tell the place was hopping. I called the reception/exhibit “Around the […]
More quilts that caught my attention: Click any image for a larver view I love the abstraction in Thelma Bearden’s Very Berries. As well as the glowing stained glass quality. In contrast to the hard edges in the quilt above, Marianne Willimason’s pieces are always very impressionistic, with soft edges. She calls this one Evening Garden […]
Adrenalin surge. That’s what I got when I was able to meet up with a bunch of other fiber artists. As far as I’m concerned, the combination of new friends, socializing, and quilts is almost as good as it gets. So, when a recent event provided me with such a mixture I was on cloud nine!

What do glass shards, junk mail and parachutes have in common? They’re all fodder for Nancy Judd’s creativity. She uses these items and other cast off or recycled materials to create wearable garments. Although this evening gown seems to be laden with sequins, it’s actually covered with over 4000 shards of glass. Click for a […]
My local fiber art group, Dirty Dozen Fiber Artists, has an exhibit currently on display at the King Center for Performing Arts. This is a lovely venue, and we’re excited to show our work there. Unfortunately, you can only see the exhibit if you’re attending an event at the center. I hope you get […]
