L.I.N.T exhibit

This piece by Peggy DeBell was very interesting. I met Peggy many years ago at the Southern Highlands Show in Asheville. She does lots of wonderful thing with computer generated images. I couldn't quite tell what materials she used. It looked a lot like plastic but it could have been fabric that had been shellacked. A very interesting technique

Sondra Dorn uses a lot of photo transfer in her work. The stitching of the vines in this piece really intrigued me.

When you enter the door to the gallery, this piece by Jude Stuecker is the first thing you see. I loved the people inside of the car. It really caught my attention because I am working on piece where I am adding my five grandchildren. This gave me an idea of how to go about doing that.

I was first exposed to Bernie Rowell about six or seven years ago when our Focus Fiber Art Group went to Asheville and saw her work in a gallery there. While Bernie was making collages then her work has changed over the years. I love her use of envelops in the pieces she has in this show.

I like bright colored fabric so this piece by Kathy Spencer caught my eye right away. I like bright colors even better when they are on a black background. Check out the quilting on this as well.

Exhibit from L.I.N.T. in Ashevile, NC

Last week a small group from our "High Fiber" group in Seneca, SC went to Asheville, NC to the Grovewood Gallery to see and exhibit from a group of fiber artist named L.I.N.T (Ladies in New Textiles). Unfortunately, I won't be able to post photos until next week as my wireless is down and all the files are on my laptop.

The Grovewood Gallery is a lovely gallery located next to the famous Grove Park Inn. The gallery is filled with incredible hand made art work from acrylic paintings to wood work. The upstairs gallery has hand made furniture of the likes you have never seen. There is also lots of fiber art displayed on the second floor. Wonderful creations by Barbara Webster, www://starforestquilts.com, and Susan Lenz, artbysusanlenz.blogspot.com. If you go to Susan's blog scroll down until you see the BLV series those are the pieces that are so impressively represented at the Grovewood Gallery.

Now on to the L.I.N.T exhibit. There are featured works by Norma Bradley, Peggy DeBell, Diana DeNardis, Sondra Dorn, Vicki Essig, Suzanne Gernandt, Susan Webb Lee, Janice Maddox, Bernie Rowell, Judy Simmons, Kathy Spencer, Jude Stuecker and Jen Swearington.

These works are so in depth. You can't just walk by them and have a look you need to stop and really study the pieces. I wanted to get this posted because the exhibit ends Dec. 31 and there's not much time left to view the wonderful show. Hopefully I will get some photos up soon with a little more detail.

Lake and Mountain Quilt Guild Christmas meeting

Last night Lake and Mountain Quilt Guild had their annual Christmas Meeting. Everyone brings a finger food to share. We also bring a small gift. Everyone stands in a circle around the room and a story is ready featuring Mr. and Mrs. Wright and their family. Every time the word right is mentioned the gift goes to the right. Every time the word left is mentioned the gift goes to the left. When the story is over you take home the gift you are left with. (That's right isn't it?) This is always such a fun game, inevitably someone ends up holding two gift at once and we have to stop to find someone without a gift. This meeting is one of few times we get to spend the evening socializing and it is always so much fun.

The photo here is of Joyce Atkinson. I fell in love with her snowman jacket and just had to feature it on this post. I hope you enjoy LMQG's Christmas party.

The table full of goodies brought by each member looks wonderful (it Was). The center pieces were given to our LMQG past president as a thank you for their work.
