BLOOD, SWEAT, & SIGNATURES - EXCITING NEWS

"Blood, Sweat, & Signatures", a celebrity signature quilt I made way back in 1992, has been acquired by the International Quilt Study Center & Museum Quilt House, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I'm honored and thrilled that this special quilt will be cared for, studied, and enjoyed by their visitors. Hopefully the names of the celebrities who grace this quilt will continue to be fondly remembered for years to come.

NATIONAL NONWOVEN'S WOOL FELT

Long time readers already know how smitten I am with National Nonwoven's products...their Woolfelt and Bamboo/Rayon are my go-to fabrics in so much of my work.  Here's the link where you can learn more about the various styles they manufacture and purchase directly from them.

I'm not an employee of the company....just a very satisfied customer who from time to time is fortunate enough to get a sneak preview of their new colors....  Did you hear me squealing yesterday when I opened the box that just arrived from them??

 Even if the colors don't translate well in my photo....just reading these names will make you want to try some on an upcoming project: Pretty In Pink, Burnt Sienna, Love Bug Blue, Earl Grey, Georgia Peach, and Spiced Cider....

Woolfelt comes in a variety of styles....some 35/65% wool/rayon  up to 100% wool.  It's felted already so you can start immediately, no messy felting here!
 My favorite was Lemon Lime Twist.....this seems to be a new direction for them.....visually it has a heather look...but it's achieved with the yellow/green color format rather than the typical darker colors one would expect.  
Their Bamboo/Rayon is soft as butter and a product I use as often as the Woolfelt.  

I noticed that Jo-Ann Fabrics has some Woolfelt on sale this week online......click here for the direct link.  BE sure you do not buy craft felt when purchasing online......  You want the real stuff from National Nonwovens for it's strength, color, and quality.

L.I.N.T EXHIBIT OPENING

I'm interrupting my PTA retreat reports with some views from the opening reception for the L.I.N.T. Exhibit. It runs through April 30th. at Gallery 86 in Waynesville, NC.

I'm delighted to be a new member of this amazing group of artists.


I often refer to the work of my friend Judy Simmons who magically transforms photos into fabric collage wall hangings. She has three pieces on display.

Suzanne Gernandt is the owner of Textures on Main in Waynesville and an artist who weaves, paints, embellishes her work. I love the simplicity of what actually is a complex number of techniques.

I chose to exhibit my 4 Seasons tree series.....featuring hand applique, hand quilting, beading, and embellishing.

Janice Maddox has a knack for taking traditional patterns and developing the designs into contemporary wall hangings.

Vikie Essig's work will blow you away. She weaves natural elements and small found objects into her work, playing with light and translucency, and the dichotomy between fragility and strength. Because of the bright lights in the gallery, my photo doesn't do this piece justice.....but visit her work here to see other work that can be purchased.

I'll be featuring the work of other members from time to time so you can see the diversity of this group
