MIXing in June

After completing two sets of three Extremes in the 18 inch square format, we moved to the theme "Inspired by a Napkin". This is the third napkin in that series. Look to earlier posts for the other napkins chosen. Several of us decided it might be interesting to take this at face value but explore various techniques to form the elements. You will just have to wait and see.

 

Sharing other work is my personal favorite part of our MIX meet ups. These images are of Betty's work. They are each 5 x 7 inches, The stitch work is simply beautiful.

Elaine had taken an online class at Jeanne Oliver's site called Hat Tricks. She shared the hat that she had embellished. Differing art mediums are a fun exploration. Try one with found items around your home.

 

Adios, until we meet again!

Touring the MIX exhibit at Sisters

Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy the show. Thank you, Jean Wells for inviting us to show our work and for providing this wonderful YouTube video,

MIX at the Sisters Fiber Arts Gallery

These are just a few of the images from the exhibit. It was beautifully hung and very well balanced by style and color and concept. The 18 x 40 inch quilts anchored the show. The first image is the work from the theme Let It Rip. Each of these quilts has some elements of paper in them. And, it is very fun to get up close and personal to find them. 

The second image features the 18 x 40 works from the As I See It theme. This abstract theme produced a wide variety of works from a covid inspired piece to  life path. A few pieces from the Inspired by a napkin theme can also be seen.

As is usual, these images do not do justice to the works. They are full of surprises with beautiful hand and machine stitched elements as well as tiny piecing that delights the eye. Head to Sisters now. The show will be up until June 20.
