The Pine Series, Fractured Roosters, and Mother Goose

I'm packing my vehicle with my art quilts to take to the RAC in Columbus, MS.

We plan to hang my fiber art exhibit this afternoon.

I just recently finished this piece, "Winter Forest" that measures 56"X71". I had originally thought to make it a quick and easy throw but when I got to the quilting part, it turned into an art quilt. See the beginning stages of it HERE.

Detail

Inspiration for this piece came from my "Pine Tree" series.

I made this "Fractured Rooster" piece in a class with Marilyn Rose. You can read about it HERE.

 Then I decided to make a depiction of part of that quilt.

"Fractured Rooster II" measures 10"X8" and is mounted on black mat board.

 In honor of Mother Goose's 30th year at the library, the Friends of the Library has declared 2016 the "Year of the Goose," and the RAC wanted to celebrate, too!

Here is my piece to honor "Mother Goose." It measures 8"X10" and is mounted on black mat board.

Pizza Supper Guests and Fiber Art at Columbus Arts Council

Life …

Some of our guests this evening included,

Darryl & Laura S. They are in the process of moving to Detroit and haven’t been around for a while.

We also enjoy the presence of Gabriel and Dana from around the corner.

Gabe is getting his bi-wing ultra light plane close to flying. They taxied it around today. Scary!

And then Quinten & Evie and their boys were also here.

Dana and I played basket ball with Kirby, Stacy, and Ashton using the dumpster for the hoop.

We missed Craigs, Dustins, and Joel’s girls.

… as a Quilter

This is the view you get when you walk into Gallery 2, the gift shop, at the Columbus Art Center. I am so pleased how they presented my pieces. There’s 8 of them there. Can you find them? 

And then out in the main gallery they are exhibiting pieces that are “Artfordable.”  Everything is $100 or less hoping you can find just the right gift for that special person. Here are my pieces in that exhibit.
