There are several exhibits for MIX later this year. Details for the Sister's exhibit at Twigs Gallery in late May and early July were finalized. We will be displaying our most recent work so, fun times are ahead for all.
Our members are a diverse group and make a lot of other work during the year. Meet and greets are a time for each of us to share such work and discuss the techniques and inspirations. Here is a snippet of what was shared this month.
January's meet up was at Hilde's studio. It seems the new task of the host is to find a very fun napkin to use as inspiration for new work. LOL So here is the "jumping off point" for our next 18 inch square work. Will it be leaves or black and white or something else entirely?
a napkin, none the less.
Continuing our 18-inch square work, we are considering things that inspire us. In this case, it was a paper napkin. It looks quilterly. It looks artsy. Think Mondrian. We ran with it.

Here are a few glimpses of some early work.
Our show is up at the Chessman Gallery in Lincoln City, OR. Opening night was great, we had limited attendance as is expected during these Covid times but look forward to visitors during the next 6 weeks.

A great start of the year 2022!
We invite you to visit our exhibit at the Chessman gallery in Lincoln City featuring over 80 new works. This exhibit summarizes three years of work of both, art quilts and 3D works.
Wishing you a Happy New Year 2022!
In January and February we brainstormed names for our 2022 exhibit at the Chessman Gallery. Many names were submitted and after several rounds of voting via email, we gave our exhibit a name:

We also continue to work on our yearly challenge pieces which we'll cover in our next post.
2020 has been a challenging year for everyone. We only met twice in person but have continued our monthly meetings via our new venue ... The Screen! We miss our gatherings and hope that 2021 will bring us back together - in person!
