So far, March has been a busy art filled month and will continue until the near the very end. The Mountain Art Quilters (an offshoot Pod of SAQA - Studio Art Quilt Association), had a members only meeting where we were able to view Group A of SAQA'S Traveling Trunk Show.
By the time you get to the end of this post you'll want to see them for yourself. Our group will be hosting a public display of these pieces on March 29th in Asheville....more details will be posted soon. You'll want to mark your calendar if you are in this area because at the same location you'll be able to visit "Seasons of Green". A contemporary art quilt exhibit presented by 19 members of the Mountain Art Quilters group of which I will have a piece on display.
Each of the 58 miniature masterpieces utilize a variety of materials, textures, and techniques. They are 10" x 7" and mounted on a black backing measuring 12" x 9".
I was delighted to see this stunning Ginkgo Leaf piece by Linda McLaughlin, a blog buddy who creates the most amazing hand stitched art. Check out her work here.
To wet your appetite....the following are samples of the mini pieces in this trunk show....credits provided, click to enlarge.
Again....watch for my post with details where to see two great contemporary art quilt shows. (Or email me for details if you can't wait!!)
